from the net:

bandanEne ranga bandanEne enna |p|
tande bAlakrishNa navanIta chOra |a|
ghalu ghalu ghaluremba ponnandige gejje hoLe hoLe hoLe yuva pAdavanUruta
nali nali nalidADuta ungura araLele thaLa thaLa thaLa hoLeyuta shri krishNa |1|
kiNi kiNi kiNI remba karada kankaNa jhaNa jhaNa jhaNa remba naDuvina ghaNTe
dhaNa dhaNa dhaNa remba pAdada toDavina miNa miNa miNa kuNidADuta shri krishNa |2
hiDi hiDi hiDi yendu purandara viTalana duDu duDu duDu duDane ODuta
naDi naDi naDI yendu pellane piDiyalu biDi biDi biDi dammayya ennuta shri krishNa |3|
Meaning:
P & A: Did bAlakrishNa, my father, ranga, the butter thief, come to me? (asks yashOda)
1: : Did vAsudEva come with 'gejje' making the sound 'ghalu', with sparkling feet, with ring on his toe finger, with shining body
2: Meaning : Did He come with kaNkaNa (on the forehead), with bell on His pelvis, playing all along?
3: If he has come, try to catch Him, do not allow him to run away again, when we ask Him to come, he will beg us to leave him. But do not do that!

For a long time, I had this on my list of songs that I wanted to upload on my YouTube channel.

Thanks to Parimal Phadke, I have been motivated today to upload this here :

Thanks for refreshing the memory of Sir teaching us this devaranama.
Sir used to sing this song so melodiously, it reverberated
in the ears for long.

Smt Savitri,

I knew this song would bring some good memories for you as well.

This is yet another song that is close to my heart because of the memories associated with it.

Sreeni Rajarao avarE,
In Sir’s voice and diction the words like ghalu ghalu,duDu duDu would assume a special quality, they would sound like the beats of mridanga.That is how after all these years I can still remember bandanEnE ranga .
