घसियारी नृत्यगीत : चंचलता और प्रेम लोक गीत#
बाजली तेरी झांवरी
बाजली तेरी झांवरी छमाछम . ओ हो
बिगरैली खुट्यु की भग्यानी , बाजली तेरी झांवरी छमाछम . ओ हो
गोरी मुखडि मा घूंगटि खैन्चिक खिच हंसदी तू ,
अनार मेली सि दान्तुडी दिखांदी तू
कराळी आंख्युंन अगाडी हेरदी, पिछाड़ी देखदी
लटूली फुफतैकी गुस्सा मा ठम ठम जब हिटदि
तब भग्यानी बाजली तेरी झांवरी छमाछम
घसेरयुं दगडि घासौ जांदी तू उकाळी उंदारि
बूण घरसारी रसीला गीतुंन बण रस्यांदा
कमर पैलुड़ी धोती फिलोरी मा , छुणक्याळी दाथुड़ी
साजली ह्त्युं मां
छुण छुण छुक छुक छुण छुण छुक छुक जब घास काटदी
तब भग्यानी बाजली तेरी हात्युं की चूड़ी छमाछम
सेलुंग डाळी सि गात की छडछड़ी , हुडकि सि तिगुड़ी
धुंवा सि हम्प्ली पाणी सि पथळी
चौंठी मा तिल , टिकुली , बिंदुली तेरी जनु
धौळी को फाट
पाणी को नौळी , रूम झूम , ठुम ठुम जब हिटदी
तब भग्यानी बाजली तेरी झांवरी छमाछम

Your anklets make chhamchham sound , O ho
O beauty of beautiful foot, your anklet will make chhamachham sound
When you smile Khich and show your beautiful face from ghungat
When you show your teeth as pomegranate
When you watch in front and back by your eyes
When you walk Tham Tham in rage by scattering your hair
Your anklet will make ‘chhamchham’ sound
When you go to take grass in jungle with your friends
The jungle become enjoyable by your songs
On that time it is your beauty which attracts the most
A rope on your waist, Dhoti above ankle, scythe, all makes you more attractive
You are high and slim as Selang tree, weightless as smoke, thin as water and your waist is thin as Hudkee
A mol on your chin , bindi on your forehead and Mang is flat as Gganga , all makes you attractive
You satisfy as the source of water when you walk Tham tham …..
Your anklets make chhamchham sound.
Ghasiyari dance song is also reflection of the society and creates enjoyment for the working people and audience too
Ghasiyari songs are source of providing strength to people doing their own hard works for themselves are many times the social works a cutting wood for a marriage etc
Ghasiayri songs are the ways of expressing the sentiments of hard works and working conditions
