Lamb rund thonddgar dorya
through vast and cold Sea

Tandd voddem tanddela

Lets us go to Shiroda
She
: Voddekara, voddekara, maka vhorn vapoi Xirvoddea
Boatman, Boatman please reach me to Shiroda
Duddu ditam zaite tuka, Mozo mogi maka apoita
I will give you lot of money, my lover is calling me
He:
Bhium naka, bhium naka, cholie thonddgar doria assa
Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, Girl the sea is cold
Distoch tujem rupnnem maka
when I see your visage( person)
Mojem kalliz umchamboll zata.
my heart is in a tempest ( troubled)
She:
Kalliz mojem mogan budlam
my heart is drowning in love
Maka xirvodd vor poddtaim paim
reach me to Shiroda I beg of you
He:
Tambdi saddi golleant nam kaim
You're not wearing red saree around your neck
Login zata, bhienakai ....repeat
I will get married do not be afraid
