Shyam Re/ "Beloved" - Anoushka Shankar (Rise)

(Lyrics and translations added) The album's other sitar-less track, "'Beloved,'" says Anoushka, "was my first experience writing lyrics from scratch and fitting it to a melody. It was flute-focused and I thought it would be nice to have it be about Krishna because he's always associated with the flute. The lyrics are from the viewpoint of Radha, who's his eternal lover. She's searching for him everywhere and then she understands that the reason she hasn't been able to find him is because she's not looking within herself."

SHYAM (श्याम): Hindi name derived from the Sanskrit element syama, meaning "black, blue." In mythology, this is a name belonging to Krishna.

"Beloved " - lyrics Anoushka Shankar/ vocals: Swarnima Gusain
Shyam re
(O Dark one*)
Shyam re
Shyam re

Daras dikha jaa, shyam re
(Let me see you, dark one)

Daras dikha jaa, shyam re
Saawre, saawre
( "beautiful one, beautiful one")

Daras dikha jaa, shyam re
Saawre, saawre

Daras dikha jaa, shyam re

Chavvi torey nainon ki, taan teri bansi ki

( "the sight of your eyes, the sound of your flute")

Chavvi torey nainon ki, taan teri bansi ki
Satoan na tum aisay piya
(Do not torture me thus, my love)
Main hu teri bas teri
(I am yours, just yours)

Satoan na tum aisay piya
Main hu teri bas teri

Saason mein basa tera naam re
(It dwells in my breath, your name)
Shyam re, saawre
( "dark one, beautiful one")

Daras dihka jaa, shyam re


Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
Shyam re, saawre

Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
Daras dihka jaa, shyam re


Itt ud khoju piya
(Here and there I look for you, my love)
Jaadu tuney aisa kiya
(Such a spell you have a cast on me)

Itt ud khoju piya
Jaadu tuney aisa kiya

Samjhi ab lila tori
(Now I understand your game)

Basey morey man mein piya
(You live in my heart, my love)

Samjhi ab lila tori
Basey morey man mein piya

Saason mein basa tera naam re
(It dwells in my breath, your name)
Shyam re, saawre

Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
Shyam re, saawre

Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
Shyam re, saawre

Daras dihka jaa, shyam re
