To make the cradle swing :

Hun min’jo kihan mil’ne P 
Gaddies anda air, 
Pattar pattar bak’riyaw khai-lae, 
Bhat’naulyaw khah’de bair. 
Hun eh nah in phul’ne. 
Kuni jina ? kuni mar’na ? 
Eh kamm phiri kuni kar’na ? 
Hun min’jo kihaft mil’ne ? 
Barhi bhar phiri kuni bas’na ? 
Kus mitre kane has’na ? 
Hun eh nah in phul’ne.

The shepherd’s flock has come 
And the goats have eaten all the leaves, 
And the squirrels have eaten the wild-plums.
