Hindi term or phrase: vayan kamahina pavane karesole
In an Indonesian article, this is said to be the title of an "Indian" song that was popular in Indonesia. It is said to mean "this month s/he is happy because of love". I don't understand Hindi, but it seems to me that this sounds a bit strange for Hindi... could anybody help me in identifying the language of this title? It could be that the Indonesian spelling is wrong. There's another song title mentioned, "Mandole maratan dole", meaning something like "the sound of the flute is calling you".
Many thanks in advance.

Sawan ka mahina pawan kare sore - A month of the rainy season, the wind is making a noise
Explanation:
The closest, with correct spellings could be - "Sawan ka mahina pawan kare sore."

This is from a very popular, old Hindi film. And the song is of course one of the all time hits. Literally it means - A month of the rainy season, the wind is making a noise. But it needs to be understood in cultural context. Sawan is the fifth month of the Hindu lunar calendar (July-August), is part of the rainy season in India and is considered to be one of the most romantic months.
So it's true that the singer is happy, in this month of Sawan, because of love...
