Thanks to Vishvesh Obla for this POP song in Sourashtra.

His comments on the song:

” This is a folk song in Sourashtra Language that used to be sung in Sourashtra (I found it Dr.Ucida Norihiko’s book ‘Oral Literature of the Sourashtrans’). I was struck by the liveliness of it so much that I thought I could set it to tune, though I haven’t heard how it was originally sung. “

Lyrics:

dhovro novro thukki dhIdiyAnA,

dhovro novro kovro sekan vIdur avasnA.

dhovro novro thukki dhIdiyAnA.

pAdu podi pAdu podi patte gosulu keradi ghallisnA,

cArdi mello tailan diyeninA.

soththu sukam sE meni betki dhiyAsnA

soththu miNci rInu avdyenA.

ghEr dhAr sE meni thukki dhiyAsnA,

ghEr miNci rInu avdyenA.

poir-pArno sE meni thukki dhiyAsnA,

poyir miNci rInu avdyenA.

sommu sukam sE meni thukki dhiyAsnA,

sommu miNci rInu avdyenA.

polto sokan veNi gumpi sodisnA tU,

polto sokan veNi gumpi cuttum phUl ghallisnA,

pAvi dhallo cArdi mello ghallan dhiyeninA.

thambe pAthro sE meni thukki dhIsnA,

pAtro miNci rInu avdyenA.

goru gAyi sE meni thukki dhIsnA,

gAyi miNci rInu avdyenA.

dhovro novro thukki dhIdiyAnA,

dhovro novro kovro sekan vIdur avasnA.

dhovro novro thukki dhIdiyAnA.
