The singing order
ਚਿੱਟਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ ਬਨੇਰੇ ਤੇ
CueA short, familiar boli that gets hesitant singers involved.
VoicesOne lead · everyone repeats
ਚਿੱਟਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ ਬਨੇਰੇ ਤੇ, ਕਾਸ਼ਨੀ ਦੁਪੱਟੇ ਵਾਲੀਏ
Chitta kukkad banere te, kashni dupatte valiye
A white rooster on the rooftop ledge—O girl in the sky-blue dupatta.
Swap the dupatta or suit colour for what someone is actually wearing.
ਗੱਡੀ ਆਈ ਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਤੇ
CueDrop this between longer boliyan to keep the pace moving.
VoicesA lead sings the couplet · the circle repeats
ਗੱਡੀ ਆਈ ਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਤੇ, ਪਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੱਟ ਵੇ ਬਾਬੂ
Gaddi aayi teshan te, parran hatt ve babu
The train has reached the station—step aside and let us see our beloved.
ਚੰਨ ਵੇ, ਕਿ ਸ਼ੌਕਣ ਮੇਲੇ ਦੀ
CueA playful middle-of-the-night giddha number.
VoicesEveryone opens · groups take the verses
ਚੰਨ ਵੇ, ਕਿ ਸ਼ੌਕਣ ਮੇਲੇ ਦੀ
Chann ve, ke shaukan mele di
O moon, she is the one who loves the fair.
ਕੋਈ ਪੱਖਾ ਹਵਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ
CueA gentle blessing between the teasing songs.
VoicesOne elder leads · everyone repeats the blessing
ਨੇਕ ਨਸੀਬ ਹੋਵੇ, ਚੰਗੇ ਸੱਜਣ ਖੁਦਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ
Nek naseeb hove, change sajjan khuda dinda
When fortune is kind, God grants you good companions.
ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਮਹਿੰਦੀ
CueA strong closer when the circle is already dancing.
VoicesGroups alternate · everyone answers the hook
ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਮਹਿੰਦੀ, ਗਿੱਧੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਨੱਚਦੀ
Mehandi mehandi mehandi, gidhe vich nachdi
Mehndi, mehndi—she is dancing in the giddha.
