Lyrics Translation:
Let us celebrate and dance the Pinga
Let us pray for our husbands‘ long lives
Here she comes
Swinging her hips
With swinging hips
She appears at my door
How graceful she is
My love’s innocent consort
In my courtyard the full moon now shines
Today, on this occasion
Together we shall dance
With swinging hips
She appears at my door
How graceful she is
My love’s innocent consort
In my courtyard the full moon now shines
Today, on this occasion
Together we shall dance
Let us celebrate and dance the Pinga
Your love has caused me pain
Like a dagger through my heart
You may accuse me of anything
But I am just a soul lost in love
To love a man who can never belong completely to either of us
Today, on this occasion
Together we shall dance
Let us celebrate and dance the Pinga
(Pinga, traditionally is a ceremonial activity that is performed by Maharashtrian (typically Brahmin) married women on the occasion of Mangalagaur. Mangalagaur is a festival of women, celebrated in a household for the first five years after a wedding. It is typically a women-only function and is very significant for new brides. It includes doing pooja (prayer rituals), good food and several game-like activities like the Pinga dance, fugdi, jhimma and others)
