lyrics

Lyrics
1) Shyamero chalaave naina teer, teer re
Mohana chalaave naina teer
Teer lagyo (3x)
Ararararararararararara!

Refrain:
Shyamero chalaave naina teer, teer re
Mohana chalaave naina teer

2) Mai Jamuna jala bharana jata ri
Saavare na chirkyo mukha nir
He sakhi!
Saavare na chirkyo mukha nir
Nir chirkyo! Ararararararararararara!

Refrain

3) Mai dadhi bechan jata vrindavana
Mero Shyam!
Main dadhi bechan jata Vrindavan
Saavare na jhatakyo mero cheer
Cheer jhatkyo! Ararararararararararara!

Refrain

4) Vana vana dolun main shyam na paave ri
Vanamali! Saavaro na jhane meri peer
Maar Gaya! Jiyame Maar Gaya! Ariri Maar Gaya!
Ararararararararararara!

Shyamero chalaave naina teer, teer re
Mohana chalaave naina teer,
Shyamero chalaave naina teer
Mero Shyam (4x)

Translation

1) Shyam has shot me with the arrows of His sidelong glance, he has shot me. With His charming beauty, He has struck me with the arrows of His glance.

(Ararararararara does not have a particular meaning but it suggests the state of madness that Krishna has put the singer in)

2) I went to the Yamuna to collect water and He splashed water at me!
Oh my dear friend!
He splashed water at me!

Refrain

3) When I went to Vrindavan to sell some yoghurt--Oh my Shyam—
He tugged on my dupatta (cloth garment)!
He always teases me in this way and tugs my cloth.

Refrain

4) O friend, in the forest, I wander here and there in search of Him, yet I cannot find Him. Oh Vanamali, He who wears a forest garland around His neck! He will never know the pain the that I feel in my heart. I cannot bare even a moment of separation from Him. I cannot live without Him.

Shyam has shot me with the arrows of His sidelong glance. With His charming beauty beauty, He has struck me with the arrows of His glance, My Shyam has struck me with the arrows of His glance. Oh My Shyam!
