मेदगे सावीत्री - Madege Savitri

मांडवाच्या दारी बामण बोलतो मंगळ
बाप काय बोल लेकी जलम वंगाळ
māṇḍavācyā dārī bāmaṇa bōlatō maṅgaḷa
bāpa kāya bōla lēkī jalama vaṅgāḷa

✎ At the time of marriage, a Brahmin* chants sacred hymns
But the life of my daughter born as a woman is a misfortune
▷ (मांडवाच्या)(दारी) Brahmin says (मंगळ)
▷ Father why says (लेकी)(जलम)(वंगाळ)
