Are Arey Karam Jale, Bade Hum Karam Jale
Oh Zara Bagal Humein Jagah De
Oh dear, our fate is unfortunate, very unfortunate.
Oh, please give us some space beside you.
(Chal Hatt!)
(Get lost!)
Geela-Geela, Hara-Hara, Neela-Peela
Mile Rang Jo Bhi Jise Humein Laga De
Wet, green, blue, yellow,
Whatever colors are available, apply them on us.
(Haye! Haye! Haye! Haye!)
(Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!)
Hey Gori Kali, Gharwali Ho Ya Saali
Kitne Bhi Daale-Waale Adange
Whether she’s fair or dark-skinned, whether she’s a wife or a sister-in-law,
No matter how much she tries to resist (create obstacles),
Chhoothe Nahin Jitna Bhi Roothe Sah
Range Bina Chhodenge Na Tujhe Lafange
You won’t get rid of us, no matter how much you feign anger
We, the carefree/mischievous guys, won’t let you go without coloring you
Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange!
Rangeeli Shama Ke Rangeele Patange, Birange!
Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!
Like colorful moths drawn to a colorful flame, we are colorful!
Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange!
Salike Na Jaane Gali Ke, Bedhange, Birange!
Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!
We don’t understand the ways of the streets; we are both unrefined and vibrant.
Ho Aira-Gaira Zaat Se, Aya Hai Tihaat Se
Rayeeson Ke Kayide Tu Kya Jaane Re
Chameli Ke Tel Si Mehak Wale Haath Se
Jahan Dekhi Chunri Kheenche Taane Re
Coming from a common background, having come from afar,
What would you know of the customs of the wealthy?
With hands that smell of jasmine oil,
Wherever you see a dupatta (shawl), you pull and tug at it.
Asar Nahin Kare Tere Taane Baane Re
Moti Khaalon Wale Tere Hain Diwane Re
Peche Ladaate Hain Kaise Mehal Wali Se, Hum Khoob Jaane Re
Your taunts and sharp words have no effect on us
We are devoted admirers of those who are uncompromising
We know very well how to engage even with women from palaces.
Aaye Gaye, Tere Jaise Aaye Gaye
Kitne Hi Aunge-Paunge Bhujange
Many like you have come and gone
So many worthless, insignificant ones have come and gone.
Chhoothe Nahin Jitna Bhi Roothe Sahi
Range Bina Chhodenge Na Tujhe Lafange
You won’t get rid of us, no matter how much you feign anger.
We, the carefree/mischievous guys, won’t let you go without coloring you.
Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange!
Rangeeli Shama Ke Rangeele Patange, Birange!
Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!
Like colorful moths drawn to a colorful flame, we are colorful!
Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange! Birange!
Salike Na Jaane Gali Ke, Bedhange, Birange!
Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!
We don’t understand the ways of the streets; we are both unrefined and vibrant.
