Ratiya Mein Dulaha Lyrics, Translation & Meaning:
In Trinidad Bhojpuri tradition, the ‘Gaari’ (Std. Hindi ‘gaali’) songs were a customary picong between the bridegroom’s and bride’s family giving salacious insults meant to tease each other during a much lighter part of the wedding. Both sides hurled light hearted teasing comments in song against other.

Here is a remake of a famous Bhojpuri Gaari sung by Sundar Popo:
