Lohri

There are many Lohri songs. For example, the following song which has words to express gratitude to Dulha Bhatti (the 'ho's are in chorus) will be sung during our Vidyalaya celebration:
Sunder mundriye ho! Beautiful girl
Tera kaun vicharaa ho! Who will think about you
Dullah Bhatti walla ho! Dulla of the Bhatti clan will
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho! Dulla's daughter got married
Ser shakkar payee ho! He gave one ser of sugar!
Kudi da laal pathaka ho! The girl is wearing a red suit!
Kudi da saalu paata ho! But her shawl is torn!
Salu kaun samete! Who will stitch her shawl?!
Chacha gali dese! The uncle made choori!
Chache choori kutti! zamidara lutti! The landlords looted it!
Zamindaar sudhaye! Landlords are beaten up!
Bum Bum bhole aaye! Lots of simple-headed boys came!
Ek bhola reh gaya! One simpleton got left behind!
Sipahee far ke lai gaya! The soldier arrested him!
Sipahee ne mari itt! The soldier hit him with a brick!
Bhaanvey ro te bhaanvey pitt! Give us Lohri, long live your pair (to a married couple)!
Sanoo de de Lohri, te teri jeeve jodi! Whether you cry, or bang your head later!
(Cry or howl!)
