Chotu Khan | Rapperiya Baalam’s Hu Ru Ru Lyrics Translation
The meaning of the lyrics shows Krishna’s divinity through simple acts. One verse states that his flute music makes a cuckoo’s song seem bland. Another part describes how his joyful laugh in the courtyard makes everyone around him happy.

The track is built around a gentle, repeating “Hu Ru Ru” refrain, a sound traditionally used to soothe children. This form roots the song in the style of a Rajasthani lullaby. The structure presents the story of a divine infant through the perspective of a loving mother.
