The bandarwallah
With the bandars
Showing the tamasha.
The Indian bandarwallah
Showing the tamasha
With the rhesus monkeys.
Indian rhesus monkeys,
Short, small and red-mouthed,
But brown-haired.
The monkeyman,
The monkey showman
Showing the tamasha.
The Indian bandarman,
Showing the tamasha,
The spectacle.
With the Indian bandars,
The rhesus monkeys,
Red-mouthed and small.
A street play
Which but you too will
Admire and appreciate it.
When see you the bandars
Standing and going,
Going to marry.
Made to act,
One in the ragged shirt the male
while another in torn frock the female bride.
The red-mouthed, shortish breed monkeys
Made to enact
As per the madari's story.
