Jaccha - Local Haryanvi Song For New Mothers - Part 3

In continuation to "Jaccha" series, I move forward to write another beautiful song sung on the occasion of the arrival of baby boy in family.

There is a custom that on the birth of a baby boy in family, the sister in law (sister of husband) receives lots of gifts from her bhabhi (new mother). Also, Swastik symbol is made outside the room of mother out of cow dung which is called the "Sathiya". This song talks about these customs. Read on and have fun. Read the summary at the end in case you do not understand the language...

Ibke brass tere hoja re bhatija,
Dungi nanand tane sone ka hasla.
Ibke brass tere hoja re bhatija,
Dungi nanand tane sone ka hasla.

Ae ri Sathiya pe, chadai silki sari,
Nanand tane razi kar du ri.
Meri Sathiya pe, chadai silki sari,
Nanand tane razi kar du ri.

Ibke baras mere hogya ri bhatija,
Dede ri bhavaj mane sone ka hasla.
Ibke baras mere hogya ri bhatija,
Dede ri bhavaj mane sone ka hasla.

Ae ri Sathiya pe, ghada de silki sari,
bhavaj mane razi kar de ri.
Meri Sathiya pe, ghada de silki sari,
bhavaj mane razi kar de ri.

Nanand tera Bhai, ae ri naate se,
Nanand tera Bhai, ae ri naate se,
Ae ri mere Konya, Maa jai Bahan,
Gori ri kyun ghar ne lutave se.
Ae ri mere Konya, Maa jai Bahan,
Gori ri kyun ghar ne lutave se.

Pehlan te tum maaro badai,
Pehlan te tum maaro badai,
Den ki bariyan karo safai,
Den ki bariyan karo safai.

Ae ri mera sasra thodi so door,
Bhavaj mein ibe ghar jaaugi.
Ae ri mera sasra thodi so door,
Bhavaj mein ibe ghar jaaugi.

Those who can read Hindi and understand Haryanvi, below is the translation in Hindi.

इबकै बरस तैरै होजा जो भतीजा,
दुंगी ननद तनै सोने का हसला।
इबकै बरस तैरै होजा जो भतीजा,
दुंगी ननद तनै सोने का हसला।

एै री सथिया पै चड़ऊं सिलकी साड़ी,
ननद तनै राजी कर दूँ री।
एै री सथिया पै चड़ऊं सिलकी साड़ी,
ननद तनै राजी कर दूँ री।

इबकै बरस मेरै होगया री भतीजा,
देदै  भवज मनै सोने का हसला।
इबकै बरस मेरै होगया री भतीजा,
देदै भवज मनै सोने का हसला।

एै री सथिया पै चढ़ा सिलकी साड़ी,
भवज मनै राजी कर दे री।
एै री सथिया पै चढ़ा सिलकी साड़ी,
भवज मनै राजी कर दे री।

ननद तेरा भाई ऐ री नाटै सै,
ननद तेरा भाई ऐ री नाटै सै,
ऐ री मेरै कोना मॉं जाई भाण,
गोरी री क्यूँ धन नै लुटावै सै।
ऐ री मेरै कोना मॉं जाई भाण,
गोरी री क्यूँ धन नै लुटावै सै।


For the benefit of others, below is the summary in English.

The new mother to be has promised her sister in law a traditional necklace of gold in case she gives birth to a baby boy - which would be her sister in law's nephew. She also promised to gift her a silk sari if she gives birth to a baby boy.
Now when, she has been blessed with one, her sister in law is asking for her gifts.
The sister in law tries to make some excuses that her own brother is denying the same. He is saying that she is only a cousin, I do not have a sister from my mothers womb. Why are you wasting the money.
The sister is law is upset and says that you guys boast about first and when it's time to fulfil the promises, you are looking for lame excuses.
She says that my husband's home is near by and I am leaving do my home right now.


Little household fights between sister in law and her bhabhi have always been a matter of fun. Songs like these add spices of taste of them.
