अग बामणाचे पोरी तुझ्या वेणीला भवरा
असा बामण सोडूनी भीम केलास नवरा
aga bāmaṇācē pōrī tujhyā vēṇīlā bhavarā
asā bāmaṇa sōḍūnī bhīma kēlāsa navarā

✎ O Brahmin* lady, there is a ring in your hair
Leaving Brahmin* aside, you married Bhim*
▷ O Brahmin (पोरी) your (वेणीला)(भवरा)
▷ (असा) Brahmin (सोडूनी) Bhim (केलास)(नवरा)

Fille de Bāmaṇ, ta coquetterie est séductrice!
Délaissant un Bāmaṇ, tu fais de Bhīm ton mari.
