I realise that this is a very old song but my parents used to sing it and it brings back nostalgic memories. An English translation would be very much appreciated.

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii baabaa, duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

yah duniyaa ik sundar bagiyaa shobha isake nyaare hai.n

har Daarii par jaadu chhaayaa har Daarii matavaarii hai

adbhut pa.nchii phuul manohar kalii-kalii chaTakiilii baabaa

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

kadam kadam par aashaa apnaa ruup anuup dikhaatii hai

biga.De kaaj banaati hai dhiiraj ke giit sunaati hai

isaka sur misri se miiThaa isake taar sajiilii baba

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiillii

duHkh ki nadiyaa jiivan naiyaa aasha ke patvaar lage

o naiyaa ki khene vaale naiya terii paar lage

paar basat hai desh sunaharaa kismat chhail-chhabiilii baabaa

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

[madhurdixit]

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii baabaa, duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

The colourful world, father, the colourful world

yah duniyaa ik sundar bagiyaa shobha isake nyaare hai.n

This world is a beautiful garden, its tales are glorious

har Daarii par jaadu chhaayaa har Daarii matavaarii hai

Every branch is enchanted with magic, every branch is intoxicating

adbhut pa.nchii phuul manohar kalii-kalii chaTakiilii baabaa

Amazing birds, fascinating flowers bloomed from their buds, father

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

The colourful world

kadam kadam par aashaa apnaa ruup anuup dikhaatii hai

With every step, our wishes show physical beauty

biga.De kaaj banaati hai dhiiraj ke giit sunaati hai

It creates a spoilt labour, it makes us listen to the songs of courage

isaka sur misri se miiThaa isake taar sajiilii baba

Its tune as sweet as candy, its strings adorned

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiillii

The colourful world

duHkh ki nadiyaa jiivan naiyaa aasha ke patvaar lage

In the river of sorrow, a new life feels like the oars of hope

o naiyaa ki khene vaale naiya terii paar lage

Oh the ones calling for the boat, their destination is new

paar basat hai desh sunaharaa kismat chhail-chhabiilii baabaa

Our golden country is across the bank with a handsome fate, father

duniyaa ra.ng ra.ngiilii

The colourful world
