"O Saya" song - Slumdog Millionaire

We watched slumdog millionaire.
Excellent film.

Now can anyone translate the non-english parts of the song "o saya"
Is it Hindi?
Or are some of the words just nonsense like in Irish songs "dai dell deedlo oh/toorea fal de diddle ahh/..."?

"O .. saya .. yero .. mayo .."

These are the best transcriptions of the lyrics I can find:

(drums ....)

ooo.. saya.. yero mayoo..
aaa roooaa yoooo..

..

aaa roha mazoo mayoo
hey aaa yooo….

ahhhayayy.... ohhh la see yo ahhhaayyaala ... xxxxxx
ahhhayayy.... ohhh la see yo ahhhaayyaala ... xxxxxx

ooo.. saya.. yero mayoo..
?aaa rooo aa yoooo..

dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak
dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak
dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak

they cant touch me
we break off run so faster
they cant even touch me
been that you see
touch me.. i ll show you choose
run zig zag quickly
pick up the pack of my journey
dont suddenly start to follow me
i'm a luck… some days the suck
we live by the buck
we get for the family

one day i wanna be a star
so i get to hang in a bar
i’ll go to vegas and play off (and a pay off?)
just to forget my scars

ek do teen char panch che saath aat nao das gyara bara teraa…

sweat shops have made me shifty
like a ninja with speed i am nifty
i hope i live till i am fifty
see my city go a quick to a thrifty

ooo… saya… yero mayoo..
aaa saya… yero mayoo.. (a bit different)
hey aaa yooo..

ahhhayayy.... ohhh la see yo ahhhaayyaala ... xxxxxx x 2?

ooo… saya… yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

finish
