Note: This song is based on the tales of 'Lord Krishna', a loved and worshipped Hindu God. It is a chapter taken from the life of Krishna when he was growing up and in his adolescent age. Krishna loved to go to the river bank where other women would come and do their daily jobs. He was the loved one among them all. They used to dance and enjoy while Krishna would do mischief. These women were referred to as 'Gopis'. There was one Gopi in particular whose name was 'Radha' who used to love Krishna and Krishna also loved her. But Krishna had a habit of being naughty. In this song, young Krishna is asking his mother ‘Yashoda/Yashomati’ about his complexion compared to that of Radha. Krishna known by various names such as 'Shyam' because he had dark-complexion & 'Nandlal' because he was raised by 'Nanda' who was a cow-herder. Other popular names of him are 'Mohan', 'Kanha' and 'Kanhaiya'. Krishna also loved to eat freshly prepared buttered and he used to steal it from the homes of people where he lived, so he is often christened as 'Maakhan Chor' or 'Butter Thief'. Lord Krishna played excellent flute and also had a peacock feather on his crown.

Ae Hey… Hey… Heyy…

Arre Yashomati Maiyya Se Bole Nandlala
To Mother Yashoda, Krishna asked
Arre Radha Kyun Gori Main Kyun Kaala
Why is Radha fair while I am dark

Ah Yeah!

Arre Ja Jhooti Ja Re
Go away You deceiver! 
Kaahe Aankhon Se Maare Teri Betuki Baatein Piya
Why are You throwing useless talks at me with Your eyes, my beloved!
Jiya Re Mera Loot Le Re…
Come and steal my heart(if You can)
Arre Aa Paas Aa Re
Come close to me
Kaahe Pallu Tu Jhaade Mujhe Tera Bana Le Piya
Stop hiding behind the veil, make me Yours
Jiya Re Mera Loot Le Re…
Come and steal my heart
Yahaan Wahan Kahin Tere Jaisa Koi Nahi
There’s no one like You anywhere else
Teri Meri Lage Jodi Pyaari
Our pairing looks so lovely
(We look wonderful together)

Rangtaari…
It’s an explosion of colours
Rangtaari Rangtaari, Tune Aankhein Ghuma Ke Jo Maari (x2)
It’s an explosion of colours as You turned around and threw that gaze at me

Toh Kya Hua Jo Kanhaiya Tera Kala Re
What’s the matter if Krishna has a dark complexion
Dil Se Laga Le Hai Bade Dilwaala Re

Jaldi Karde Haan Kyun Beech Mein Taanga Hai
Hurry up, stop making him wait
Navratri Ki Raat Maa Se Tujhko Manga Hai

Pallu Sambhaal Gori Udi Udi Jaye Re
O girl! Take care of the Your veil, it is flying off
Dham Dham Baaje Baaje (x2)
It(the drum) is beating strongly
Aage Badhun Tu Peechhe Mudi Mudi Jaaye Re
When I take a step towards You, You turn and go farther away(from me)

It is beating strongly
Pallu Sambhaal Gori Udi Udi Jaye Re
O girl! Take care of the Your veil, it is flying off
Aage Badhun Tu Peechhe Mudi Mudi Jaaye Re
