The Ballad of Dhausa Beng
Shivpujan Raut[Verse 1] When monsoon season arrives with glee, The Dhausa Beng hops out, wild and free. Around the house, it leaps and bounds, A curious sight, it astounds! [Chorus] Beng, Beng, Beng, a noisy call, Echoing loud, beyond the wall. Where does it come from, where does it hide? Its secret's kept deep inside! [Verse 2] In water it dwells, on land it strides, With its croak, it often misguides. It loves the grime, a murky friend, From clear water, it makes amend! [Chorus] Beng, Beng, Beng, a noisy call, Echoing loud, beyond the wall. Where does it come from, where does it hide? Its secret's kept deep inside! [Bridge] Satyam Dev, that's its name, Round and plump, it's all the same. The leader of frogs, a mighty sight, Its form so grand, both day and night! [Chorus] Beng, Beng, Beng, a noisy call, Echoing loud, beyond the wall. Where does it come from, where does it hide? Its secret's kept deep inside! [Outro] Such is the Dhausa Beng's great fame, It keeps us all on our toes, it's a game! Beng! Beng! Beng! [End]
