SATRANGA Lyrics — English Translation & Meaning
Ho ho ho ho... Half your love and half mine — let them together make one whole moon One star yours, one star mine, and the rest of the sky is darkness They do not hold where you are concerned, the threads tied on the peepal tree These streaks of kohl run down, slipping past the watching eyes Inside the colourless, this love is seven-coloured I am the wandering ascetic and this love is the Ganga Inside the colourless, this love is seven-coloured I am the wandering ascetic and this love is the Ganga Ho ho ho ho... Let me raise my hands to my forehead, let me touch your feet Let me keep the wounds upon my body, let all your enmities become mine Do not stop now And I will not sulk now I am no longer yours, and no longer my own either You are my entire world, but do not come now, do not come — I will not come to your city The vows we took walking the circles keep us burning Those promises, those false promises — take them with you, swear them and go In every vein this love is a wandering mystic Why is this love dyed in blood itself Inside the colourless, this love is seven-coloured I am the wandering ascetic and this love is the Ganga Ho ho ho ho... Take every memory you have of me and set it floating on the water today These wet eyes of yours — let me hold them against my lips I am the ocean and this love is a bird The heart is in mourning and this love is alive Inside the colourless, this love is seven-coloured I am the wandering ascetic and this love is the Ganga Ho ho... inside the colourless this love is seven-coloured I am the wandering ascetic and this love is the Ganga

About "SATRANGA" by Arijit Singh
The title turns on a contrast that English loses. "Badrang" means colourless, drab, spoiled; "satranga" means seven-coloured, a rainbow. The hook says that inside something entirely without colour, this love is a rainbow — which is either a description of transcendence or of delusion, and the song deliberately refuses to say which.
The imagery throughout is devotional rather than romantic, and that is the point. The narrator calls himself a jogi, a renunciate, and calls the love the Ganga — the river a jogi would bathe in, worship, and scatter ashes into. He touches her feet, takes her enmities onto his own body as wounds, and describes the marriage vows as something that keeps them burning. Love here is not companionship; it is a religious practice with a cost.
The turn in the second verse is the sharpest writing in the song. "Tera ni reha te na khud da vi main" — I am not yours, and not my own either — describes a person who has been emptied by the relationship without being kept by it. And then, immediately after calling her his entire world, he tells her not to come, and says he will not come to her city. Both people are being refused access at once.
Written by Siddharth-Garima and sung by Arijit Singh for Animal, it belongs to a film about a man whose devotion is indistinguishable from damage, and the song's imagery is consistent with that reading rather than softening it.
