Beloved

This is a loose translation - but will give you some idea of what is being sung. It is a love song from a woman to the Hindu God Krishna who is known as Shyam (the Dark One). "Re" in this context means "O":

Daras dikhe jaa, Shyam Re

Show me a glimpse of yourself, O Dark One

Daras dikha jaa, Shyam Re

Saawre, saawre

Show me a glimpse of yourself, O Dark One

(Saawre means the same as Shyam)

Chavvi torey nainon ki, taan teri bansi ki

Chavvi torey nainon ki, taan teri bansi ki

The reflection of your eyes and the tune of your flute

The reflection of your eyes and the tune of your flute

Satoan na tum aisay piya, Main hu teri bas teri

Do not torture me like this O loved one. I am yours, only yours

Saason mein basa tera naam re

Shyam re, saawre

Your name resides in my breath

O Dark One, O Dark One

Itt ud khoju piya

Searching for you here and there O loved one

Jaadu tuney aisa kiya

You have done such magic on me

Samjhi ab lila tori

Now I understand what you are doing

Basey morey man mein piya

You reside in my heart, O loved one

(Then…repetition of above.)
