yaare rangana meaning

[rani]

Another translation, again by my grandmother. Additional information and modifications are welcome. - rani

Who is Ranga? Who is Krishna? Who is Ranga? Has he come to call me?

Gopalakrishnana? Is he the one who redeems you of all sins?
Is he the one who has come to call me in this way?

Is he the one who works wonders with his flute?
The one as dear as life itself
One who appreciates goodness
Has he come to call me?

Is he the one who granted a boon to the elephant king
Is he the prime, the formost Man
Is he Purandara's Lord Vittala
Has he come to call me?
