A rearrangement of Radhika Dasis beautiful song: https://soundcloud.com/adhikadasi/jiyo-syama-lala
Jiyo Śyāma Lālā
jiyo śyāma lālā, jiyo śyāma lālā
pīlī terī pagaḓī raṅga kālā (1)
Live long, darling little Śyāma! Your tiny turban is yellow and Your complexion is dark.
gokulamẽ āyo nandalālā
gopiyõ se paḓa gayā aba pālā (2)
The son of Nanda has come to Gokula and has been ambushed by gopīs.
mata ro kā̃nhā ū̃wā ū̃wā
samjāve sunandā buā (3)
“Kānhā, do not cry, ‘Wah-wah’!” Auntie Sunandā pleads.
khīr, jalebī, pūḓī laḍḍū puā
yaśomatī ghara ānanda huā
[With preparations such as] khīr, jalebīs, purīs, laḍḍūs, and malpuās—Mother Yaśoda’s house was filled with bliss!
caramara caramara kare palanā
brajavāsī gāye jiyo lalanā (4)
As the cradle rocked to and fro, it made a creaking sound and the Vrajavāsīs sang, “Long live our darling baby boy!”
nanda ke ānanda bhāyo
jay kanhaiyā lāla kī
All glories to Kanhaiyā, Nanda’s joy.
hāthi diyo ghoḓā
diyo aur diyo pālakī
He [Nanda] gave away elephants, horses, and palanquins.
jay kanhaiyā lāla kī!
All glories to Kanhaiyā!
hāthi ghoḓā pālakī!
Elephants, horses, and palanquins!
