Deusi re!

[Deusi re!]

Aama Baba, Daju bhai, Didi bahini, Kaka Kaki, Mama maiju sabai jana tol baasi

[Mother, father, older brother, younger brother, older sister, younger sister, uncle, aunt, maternal uncle, maternal aunt, all the neighbors]

Aayou hai hami feri laaj-saram pachayera

[Here we are again, having digested our shame]

Aayou hai hami feri ghar-beti aama-baba

[Here we are again, to the master and mistress of the house]

Deusi kheldai aaja tapai ko sundar aaganama

[Playing Deusi today in your beautiful courtyard]

Laxmi basai basun tapai ko sadhanama

[May Goddess Laxmi reside in your endeavors]

Yei nai pukaarne chhau hami hamro prarthanama

[This is what we will call for in our prayers]

Bhana bhana bhai ho

[Say it, oh brothers]

Deusi re!

Ali ramrari bhana

[Say it a little better]

Deusi re!

Ali swor milaaikana

[Match your voices a little]

Deusi re!

[Deusi re!]

Aba bhana bhana bhai ho deusi re bhana

[Now say it, oh brothers, say Deusi re]

Rato mato, ne-hop ko baato

[Red mud, the path of Nep-hop]

Hami lad-dai ra pad-dai

[We, fighting and studying]

Yei aayeka hami deusi re khelna

[This is how we have come to play Deusi re]

Dhaka topi jhalka-dai, gunyu cholo dhalkaaudai

[Flashing the Dhaka topi, swaying in the gunyu cholo]

Jham-ma haale nachakka kamar lai madkaaudai

[With a jingle, gracefully swaying the waist]

Boka harle maadal, tinak-dhinak thadkaa-dai

[The men playing the madal, beating it to a rhythm]

Kunama gaera thukpe, sulta, khukuri jhik-dai

[Going to a corner, spitting, pulling out a khukuri]

Deusi re, deusi re jhilimili tihar

[Deusi re, Deusi re, sparkling Tihar]

Soltini ko bhana k chha bhitri man ko bichar

[Oh sister-in-law, tell me what are your inner thoughts]

Aati-chitto parla timlai jiskaauda jhan-jhan

[You'll get very irritated the more I tease you]

Dai banaaune nasocha hai khali chhaina nidhar

[Don't think of making me your brother, my forehead isn't empty]

Aayou hai hami feri ghar-beti aama-baba

[Here we are again, to the master and mistress of the house]

Deusi kheldai aaja tapai ko sundar aaganama

[Playing Deusi today in your beautiful courtyard]

Laxmi basai basun tapai ko sadhanama

[May Goddess Laxmi reside in your endeavors]

Yei nai pukaarne chhau hami hamro prarthanama

[This is what we will call for in our prayers]

Bhana bhana bhai ho

[Say it, oh brothers]
