@river, you too a Marathi Mulgi here? Good to know that! 😊 What you wrote is almost correct. 👍🏼 Still, let me provide the exact translation. It is not needed, but since you asked I am doing it.

Arre sansaar sansaar

Ah! This married life !

Jasa tawa chulhawar

Like a pan on fire!

Adhi hatala chatake, tewha milate bhakar

Sting from burn on hands first, then only you get the bread.

The meaning could be applied to broader aspects of life as well. Not just restricted to marriage.

Its a very beautiful marathi song. 😊

Yes this was composed by "Sant Bahinabai" who was a female saint from Maharashtra during ( 1628-1700 AD ) . The year I had to look up on the net.
These songs were usually sung by women while cooking or grinding flour using the hand grinder I think. Though the word "sansar" here looks like a woman describing about married life, in a broader sense it can also be considered as the whole world.
Here she says, one needs to suffer the pains of garam tava in order to get a good bhakri (made from millet flour in Maharashtra). It is like saying you won't get a rose without touching its thorns first (at least that is what I think).
