Aiso He Haruya Syama Kheliya Faguwa

āiso he hāruyā syāma kheliye fāguwā e bār hāribā jadi,
fāgu hārā niravadhi, jagabhori gāowāibo dhuwā

Refrain: 'Come here, O Syama and play with Fagu -powder with us! If You win this fight I will make the whole world sing Your glories."

jadi bolo ekā āmi, bahu saṅge saṅgī tumi,
tabe sayūthe viśākhā hauk tuwā

"If You argue: "I'm all alone and You have so many assistants", then let Visakha and her whole group be on Your side."

lalitā āmār sakhī, āiso ār bār kheli dekhi,
jānā jābe kemona kheluwā

O Lalita, My sakhi, come and show us how to play this again. Then You will know how this game is played.

jadi bolo raṅga nāi, leho raṅga joto cāi,
nohe bolāo āpana kheluwā

"If You say: "I have no colored powder", then take as much of it as You want. It will not empower Your game anyway."

picakārī nāhi thāke, dibo āmi lākhe lākhe,
joto cābe pābā he bandhuwā

"If You have no syringe, no problem, I can give You thousands of them. O friend, take as many as You want."

giridhara nāma dhara, loke bole bir boro,
heno nām hoilo hāruwā

"You bear the name Giridhari and the people call You a hero - that reputation will now be shattered!"

śuno he rasika śyām, jiniyā rākho nām,
bolu jeno jogāye fāguwā

"Hear Me, O rasika Syama! Save Your reputation by winning! Give the word and I will supply You with colored powder!"
