In Marwari — मारवाड़ी में
"आयो जी आयो" राजस्थानी लोकगीतां री एक विधा है, जकी परिवार री बायां ब्याव में दुल्हा या बरात रे आगमन माथै गावै। ये गीत बिना किणी माइक-साउंड रे, जीवतो अर पीढ़ी-दर-पीढ़ी चाल्या आवता सुर-बोलां मांय गावीजै। दुल्हा री बरात ई नीं, बीजा जरूरी आगमन रा मौकां माथै भी आ रीत निभाई जावै।
