ho rangabati, ho rangabati
ho rangabati, ho rangabati
haye rangabati rangabati tu jo na hoti
sab rang safed hote
haye rangabati rangabati tu jo na hoti
hare na ye khet hote

ho rangabati, ho rangabati
rangabati main rangabati
haye rangabati rangabati tum jo na kahte
dar dar to bhaagte hote
rangabati rangabati ratta lagau main
gaaungi jaagte sote

ae hey hey hey teri baate meethi mithai
baaki sabki hain sikhi sikhai
teri baate meethi mithai
baaki sabki hain sikhi sikhai
tu naache to dil mera dhadke
baki sabse parayi
charno mein mere dhaniyo ka maal hai
hatho mein mere jan jan ka haal hai
tere shradha bhi lekin kamaal hai
tujhe bolu kaise main de du machan hai

rangabati rangabati ho ho ho
ho rangabati, ho rangabati
ho rangabati, ho rangabati
haye haye haye
rangabati rangabati tu jo na hoti
jado mein shakti na hoti
rangabati

O, Rangaabati, O, Rangaabati
O, Rangaabati, O, Rangaabati
Were you not, O Rangaabati, Rangaabati,
all colors would be bleached white,
Were you not, O Rangaabati, Rangaabati,
these fields would never see green light.

O, Rangaabati, O, Rangaabati
Rangaabati, I am Rangaabati
Were you not, O Rangaabati, Rangaabati,
we would wander, lost in plight,
Rangaabati, Rangaabati, I chant your name,
sing it awake and through the night.

Your words, a sweetness like fine sweets,
all others, merely learned repeats,
Your words, a sweetness like fine sweets,
all others, merely learned repeats,
When you dance, my heart it leaps,
from all the others, my soul retreats.
At my feet, the wealth of the rich,
in my hands, the common people's hitch,
Your devotion, a glorious switch,
how to offer you, my soul's own niche?

Rangaabati, Rangaabati, oh, oh, oh
O, Rangaabati, O, Rangaabati
O, Rangaabati, O, Rangaabati
Alas, alas, alas
Were you not, O Rangaabati, Rangaabati,
winter would have no might,
Rangaabati…
