Mee Dolkara= I'm the dolkara. Dol is what the small boat of the fisherman is
known in the koli dialect. Kar here means his job here to row the boat.

Dolkar Daryacha Raja= Darya means the saagar or the sea. Raja is the king so
here he means I'm the king of the sea.

Vhallav re nakhwa ho vhallav re rama= Vhallav, I think is to row the boat.
Nakhwa means the owner of the boat. Ghar panyavari= my abode is on the water. The sea being the second home to a koli.

Bandravar karto ye ja= I make frequent trips to and from the port. Bandar is
a port. Like VT area in Bombay was earlier known as Bori Bunder.

Now Lata sings

Aai Baapachi larachi lek mee laari= I am the darling of my parents.
Choli pivali ga, nesli anjari saari(Saadi)= Choli is yellowish and wearing
Anjari sari.

Majhya kesan go, maliyela fulela chapha.= She conveys that she is wearing a
gajra of Chapha flowers.

Vaas parmalta vaaryan ghetay jhoka= The fragrance (of Chapha)spreads as the
breeze blows like a swing.

Nath or Nuth naakan saajiravani= I am adorned with the nosering(typically
marathi women adorn it)

Gala bharun soniyache mani= and the necklace of golden beads.

Kolivaryachi mi ga rani= I am the queen of koliwada.

Raat punvela, naachun karte mauja= I dance on the full moon night having
fun.

Yaa go daryacha darara motha=Yaa go is more like 'hey'. The sea has a great
authority.

Kava panyavari ut than dogar laata= when the sea has huge mountain waves

Kava udanvaara sharila yetay faru
Kava panyatuni aabhala bhartiya taaru= When there is strong winds, the boat touches the sky.

Vaat bagun jhurte pariti = The endless wait is making her restless.

Mag daryala yete bharti= And then the sea swells with high tide.

Jaate panyane bhijun dharti= The earth gets wet with the water

Yete bhetaya tasach bhartar majha= likewise I come to meet my beloved.

Now Hemant Kumar

Bhalya sakal la aabhal jhuktay he khali= At the dawn the sky kisses the earth as it comes down

Sona chamchamtay daryala chadte lali= The gold(sun) shines as the sea
becomes magenta coloured.

Aami panyamandi raapan takto jali= We throw our nets into the sea

Dhan daryacha lootun bharto dali= We loot the wealth of the sea filling the
tokri.

Raat punvechi chandana pyali= The poonam or full moon night has drunk the
moonlight

Kashi chaandichi maasoli jhaali=Even the fish appears silver like.

Majhya jaalyat houn aali= It(the fish) came into my net on its own.

Neto baajaraa bharun mhavra taaza= I carry the fresh fish to the market.
