Ramu Rathod | Prabha’s Ranu Bombai Ki Ranu Lyrics {English Meaning}
Addala Medalunnaye,
There are mansions made of glass,
Medalla Manchi Chiralunnaye
And rows of beautiful sarees,
Chirancha Raikalunnaye,
With shimmering silk all around.
Konipista Natho Bombay Raye
Come with me, I’ll take you to Bombay and buy them all for you.
Ranu Ne Ranu
I won’t come, I won’t come.
Ranu Bombayki Ranu
I won’t come to Bombay, I won’t come.
Ranu Bombayki Ranu
I won’t come to Bombay, I won’t come.
Raye Raye Pilla
Come on, my dear!
Rangula Ratnam Ekkinchi Jataranta Chupitta
I’ll take you on a colorful Ferris wheel, show you the grand festival, and make your experience unforgettable.
Ranu Ranu Polaga
No, no, I won’t.
Rangula Ratnam Ekkinchi Nann Agam Chestavanta
You’ll make me sit on the Ferris wheel and leave me stranded in the crowd.
Anduke Ranu Ne Ranu
That’s why I won’t come, I won’t come.
Ha Ranu Ga Jatara Ranu
I won’t come to the fair, I won’t come.
Ranu Nen Agam Ganu
And I won’t get caught in your tricks.
Ranu Ga Jatara Nenu
I won’t join the fair,
Ranu Nen Agam Ganu
And I won’t fall for your words.
Malle Pallila Malle Totane
Like Mallepalli’s jasmine garden,
Ni Jadala Poolu Alli Pedathane
I will weave flowers into your braid.
Nallagondala Nakkilisule
Like Nalgonda’s jewelry,
Ni Medala Bhale Merisipotaye
Your appearance will shine beautifully.
Chalu Ayya Chalu
Enough, sir, enough.
Chalu Ni Juta Matalu
Enough of your boastful words,
Chalu Ni Kurra Kootalu
Enough of your endless flirting.
Raye Raye Pilla
Come on, my dear!
Ni Kanti Meeda Reppanayi Kaddaka Thodunta
I will be your eyelid, protecting you until the end.
Ranu Ranu Polaga
I won’t come, I won’t come, villager.
Ma Inti Peru Munchalenu Ni Valla Mantalla
I can’t bring shame to my family because of you.
Anduke Ranu Ehe Ra Ne Ranu
That’s why I won’t come, I won’t come.
Ha Ranu Ga Jatara Ranu
I won’t come to the fair, I won’t come.
Ranu Nen Agam Ganu
I won’t come to feel embarrassed, I won’t come.
Ranu Ga Jatara Nenu
I won’t come to the fair, I won’t come.
Ranu Nen Agam Ganu
I won’t come to feel embarrassed, I won’t come.
Palleturi Paduche Pillave
You are a village girl,
Patnamanta Ni Kantagadathane
Yet the whole city will fall for you.
Ma Palamuri Pancha Vanneve
You are the precious jewel of our Palamuru,
Paisa Katnam Nenollanantine
I will tell everyone that I paid a hefty price for you.
Ayina Ranu Ne Ranu,
Still, I won’t come, I won’t come.
Ranu Ga Hyderabadu
I won’t come to Hyderabad.
Na Pani Meedikelly Yadipodu
I won’t wander its streets and lose my way.
Ne Ranu Ga Hyderabadu
I won’t come to Hyderabad.
Na Pani Meedikelly Yadipodu
I won’t wander its streets and lose my way.
Raye Raye Pilla
Come on, my dear!
Rachamani Chachiponi Na Prema Chudu Gundlella
See my love, which is as strong as a diamond.
Kani Kani Polaga
But still, villager,
Kanche Dinchi Premavanchi Adugaita Ni Adugulla
You will deceive me with your love and walk all over me.
Sami Na Sami
Oh, my dear,
Sami Na Bangaru Sami
Oh, my golden dear,
Ne Tempabonu Nikichina Hami
I won’t break the promise I made to myself.
