Kirtan with English sub-titles
Raag Yaman Kalyan in Gurbani Kirtan
While you are listening to kirtan video clips with English Transliterations, you might want to identify the particular raag in which it's being sung.
The professional musicians will always attempt to sing the shabad in the prescribed raag. But most amateurs could sing the shabad in any raag which they feel comfortable.
During this learning process, that I'm attempting to take you through, other music clips of the same raag will be provided for you to identify this raag from the similarities.
These short lessons are good for both adults and children and especially beneficial to those who want to learn how to play the harmonium by hearing it.
This is raag Kalyan. While you listen to it, below the meanings of the shabad :

Shabad Transliteration:
Gaurhee Guru Amar Das
mil maerae preethamaa jeeo thudhh bin kharee nimaanee ||
Meet me, O my Dear Beloved. Without You, I am totally dishonored.
mai nainee needh n aavai jeeo bhaavai ann n paanee ||
Sleep does not come to my eyes, and I have no desire for food or water.
paanee ann n bhaavai mareeai haavai bin pir kio sukh paaeeai ||
I have no desire for food or water, and I am dying from the pain of separation. Without my Husband Lord, how can I find peace?
gur aagai karo binanthee jae gur bhaavai jio milai thivai milaaeeai ||
I offer my prayers to the Guru; if it pleases the Guru, He shall unite me with Himself.
aapae mael leae sukhadhaathaa aap miliaa ghar aaeae ||
The Giver of peace has united me with Himself; He Himself has come to my home to meet me.
naanak kaaman sadhaa suhaagan naa pir marai n jaaeae ||4||2||
O Nanak, the soul-bride is the everlasting Lord's wife; her Husband Lord never dies and He shall never leave. ||4||2||
Explanations on Raag Kalyan for beginners (text) : Raga Kalyan - we shall use the name interchangeably with Yaman. As the preeminent night-time Raga, Yaman embodies considerable gravitas. No other Raga has cut so wide a swathe across all genres of music and no other Raga has purchased so viselike a hold on the Indian's thoughts and feelings. Every child embarking on a preliminary study of classical music brings with her a working familiarity of Kalyan obtained through folk and other sources. Yaman has come to be acknowledged as the touchstone among classical musicians in calibrating a peer's quality and depth, its mastery deemed a sine qua non for any serious student. The magnitude and extent of Yaman's reach impel us to offer here a substantial listening experience both in the realm of the 'light' and the classical. In the posse of clips that follows, the Yaman and Yaman Kalyan instances are commingled.
Other Videos/Audio on same raga :
Aaj moray aaye hain
Man Chaao Bhaya Praph Aagam Sunya
Gun Naad Gun Aanand
Har Har Simro Sant Gopala 1
Har Har Simro Sant Gopala 2
Bin kartar na kirtan mano
Gur ke charan ji ka nistara
Kaun bidh ta ki kaha karu
Sajan tere charan ki
Gun naad dhun anad bhed
Har jee mata har ji pita
Mere hiyre ratan nam har vasiya
Mere lalan ki sobha

Raag Majh
Tu Mera Pita Pita Tu Hai Mera Mata
Translation : http://www.sikhnet.com/GurbaniKirtan/tr_0795.html
This raga is attributed to Guru Nanak, who developed it from a Punjabi folk tune. It does not appear in the Ragmala nor does it seem to be a classical raga today. Possibly it has been reserved purely for Gurbani Sangeet. Majh was the setting for compositions by Guru Nanak, Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan. This is a regional raga of Manjha- the central portion of the Punjab-and is sung in the afternoon. Here Guru Nanak has given an account of social, cultural and religion conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims in his age. Guru Arjan has composed the calendar- Barah Maha-in this raga. He has dwelt on the characteristics of different months, and the importance of water and milk in the agricultural economy of the punjab. Metaphorically these two things respectively signify that man without devotion and kindness is no good at all.
Aroh : Sa Re Ma Pa Dha Sa
Avroh : Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa
Vadi : Ma
Samvadi : Sa
The raga is sung to describe the lacerations of a beloved in the memory of his/her lover. The shabad of Guru Arjan 'mera maan lochey...is the best example to describe the depth of this raga. The notes used in this raga are:
Arohi (ascending scale) -
sa re ma pa ni sa (omitted notes are -ga, dha)
Avrohi (descending scale) -
sa ni-(soft note) dha pa ma ga-(soft note) re sa
The vadi (most popular) note is 're' and
samvadi (second most popular) note is 'pa'.
Raga Majh is sung at the third part of the day i.e., from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
The season of its recitation is rainy (varsha) i.e., during July and August.

Re: Kirtan with English sub-titles
Raag Gaudi and its Variations
Gouri, too, is a prAchina rAga. Or, to be more precise, it is a group of rAgas. Furthermore, it would be appropriate to regard Gouri as a sub-melody, more in the line of a gesture than a full blown Raganga. And so it is that there are Gouris of the Bhairav, Poorvi and Marwa thATs with additional qualifiers such as the Shree-anga Gouri, Bhairav-anga Gouri, Poorvi-anga Gouri and so on. These are not considered 'big' rAgas.
Most of the Gouris in vogue fall to either the Bhairav or the Poorvi thAT. The canonical Gouri signature obtains from the peculiar behaviour on and around the shuddha nishAd of the mandra saptak.
To wit: S, N' N' S, r G, r S r N', N' d' N', N' S
Gaudi
Jo Jaano Teon Raakh
Wadhbhagi Har Kirtan Gaiye
Gaudi Gauraree
Har Ke Nam Vithoh Bal Jaoun
Gaudi Cheti
Ab mohe ram apna kar janya
Dekho bhai gyan ki ayi aandhi
Mere sahiba kaun jaane guna tere 1
Mere sahiba kaun jane gun tere 2
Gaudi Biragan
Mere ram ham papi saran pare
Mai Banjaran Ram Ki
Gauri (Siri Raga Ang)
Ja ka meet sajan hai samia
Gauri (Bhairav Ang)
Thir ghar baiso har jan pyare
