Boy-Rangabati O Rangabati
(O my colourful Lady)
Rangabati Rangabati kanaka lata
( tender as a golden creeper)
Hasi pade kahana katha
(give me a smile and utter a sweet word of endearment for me)
Girl- Hai go laze laze o laze, laze
( In my coquettishness )
laze, laze laze nai zauche matha go
(I cant look straight into your eyes)
nai kara nai kara aatha
(please leave me alone)
Boy- Sapana rajar sapana
(You are but a royal dream)
ranir lagi suta mali helana guthan
(a precious pendant strung in the queen's necklace)
rangabati rangabati
(O my colourful Lady)
Girl- e akhin asichhe kete sapana
(You are the dream of my eyes)
eh jibardhan jibar jiban gala ratan re
(The treasure of my heart, the life of my life You as my life and the jewel adorning my neck)
mane mali mahakana ho
(You are the fragnance of jasmine, that seduces my desire and makes my heart dance with joy)
aha mor dhana kede milana
(when you are with me , who needs friends or acquaintances)
chhana chhana hesi mana
(I am eager for our union).
