This is no ordinary Marwadi song… Till date I’ve not been able to
(a) Translate any more than the first three words of this song even after straining my ear’s everytime the song played?(mentioned above!)
(b) Uncode whether the singer is a male or a female?
(c) Why the song has to be 1 hr long with the same lyrics repeated again and again?
(d) How can someone sing a ‘supposedly’ romantic song in a high pitched voice?
(c) Comprehend how such a baritone can be among the top favourites of the people?
Yeah, the song was specially played on demand! And when not on demand at least once every day along with the other equally strange and long Marwadi Songs. Our staff buses boasted the most weird playlists on the earth…a torture that lasted the 45 minutes ride in the morning and then again on the way home! It was truly one of its kind with the most unheard, strange and at times embarrassing songs! A lot of times I din know whether to be amused or angry! Let me give you some bright examples
1. Mehbooba o Mehmooba from Ramu ki AAG (ARRRGGHHH!!)
2. Jaipur ki Choli Mangwade re saiyaan (an old hindi song! Mistakenly I mentioned I once to my mom who to my shock identified it and started singing it too…as it the bus trouble was not enuf)
3. De De Chumma Chumma De…Ashiq hai tera Chumma De… ( This ‘Govinda-Type’ was played quite many times before it was finally omitted on our request! Thank God! :P)
4. Marwadi version of Dil Le Gayi Kudi Gujarat Di and other pop songs!
5. All songs of movies like Hadh Kar Di Aapne, Dulhan Ham Le Jayenge (Ab to had hi ho gyi)
6. Bach Ke Rehna Re Baba Title Song (Starring Rekha and Mallika Sherawat)
7. And ofcourse Dhora Mate Jhopdi Ooooo… and other Uncomprehendable Marwadi Songs lasting upto 45 mins or 1 hr.
There are lots more to add but I suppose you get the idea!
Not that not a single good song came our way but such instances were just so rare…I can’t recall more than 8 in my entire tenure! Okies one more point before you comment! I know you’d say you could put on your earphones…listen to some other songs etc! well with the speakers blasting the bus we could hardly hear our own voices let alone any other song!

hehehe ..lol! at all the songs ..and hey, i am struggling to get the meaning of this marwari song..something like .. a hut in my land or something?? it's supposed to be a row-man-tick song?
It means "hut on the top of sandunes(dhoran in marwardi)
ya it seems like a romantic song coz the words at the tail of the song are "main to maari jaun...balamji thare bina" the only other words i cud actually understand. lol!
P.S. there was another marwadi song i recall "Abu re pahadan me mor bole re" coz all thru our short trip to Mt Abu my father was singing it! n guess one fine day...arnd 3-4 months after this trip this song was playing in our bus!
