The groom’s mother (mata)...

Like a great queen, Madam — today my dear groom is well made-up (2)

Arre, khuve saji re, dekho khuve re saji
Dekho ajab bare saji hai barat, hai aj more dulahe re saje
Dekho khuve re saji hai barat, aj more dulahe saje
Meaning
Surinamese wedding sehrā by Dropati (1921–1997) — sung when the bārāt arrives. Teasing verses praise how the groom’s father, grandfathers, and mother are adorned; the refrain calls the Ram-like groom to hear the gārī (playful words): Moray gari suno maharaj.
