गावाला बाई गेला गाव म्हणून जतरला
नकीच्या धोतराची खूण केली वलणीला
gāvālā bāī gēlā gāva mhaṇūna jataralā
nakīcyā dhōtarācī khūṇa kēlī valaṇīlā

✎ Woman, my brother has left, saying he is going to a fair
As a proof, his dhotar* with embroidered border is on the line
▷ (गावाला) woman has_gone (गाव)(म्हणून)(जतरला)
▷ (नकीच्या)(धोतराची)(खूण) shouted (वलणीला)

Femme, mon frère est parti en visite, en visite? à la fête!
A preuve le dhotar aux franges brodées à la corde à linge.

dhotar ➡ dhotars

When the singer says that she goes to her village with dhotar, it means that she is just carrying a cloth to bring things from maher (a married woman’s parental home). Similarly, she sometimes means that she is carrying a stole.
