Rangabati E Rangbati Lyrics English (Meaning) – Sambalpuri | Original song
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
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.
