Herda Ramro Machhapuchhre - Dharmendra Sewan [Lyrics and English Translation]

Herda Ramro Machhapuchre 

Mount Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) is beautiful to look at
Maari Ramro Macha 
By catching a fish equally beautiful

Baiguni Lai Gunle Marchu 
I’ll defeat the ingrate with goodness
Khoji Lyaideu Ka Cha

Just help me search for it


Jun Kholi Ma Pani Chaina 
The stream that is waterless
Uhi Kholi Ma Voti 
That very stream has the big fish
Aafno Poi Lai Basi Makai 
Stale corn for your husband
Natho Poilai Roti

While your paramour gets chapati


Vaatai Pakyo Gudu Gudu 
The rice grains are tumbling over in boiling water

Tiun Lai Nun Chaina 

But we are out of salt for the curry
Sunko Jasto Jowan Dida

While I offer my gold-like youth
Kanchi Lai Gun Chaina 
Kaanchi¹  sees as no act of note

Daila Muni Tite Fapar 
Buckwheat under the doorframe

Gaile Khaye Khala 

Don’t care if a cow has a munch at it
Lako Maya Chodne Chaina 
I’ll not step back from my amorous obsession

Gaye Gardan Jala

Don’t care if I’m beheaded in the process

Taal Ko Macho Taal Mai Rahyo

The fish of the lake remained under water
Vyagutta Pakhai Ma 

The frog was left waiting at the edge
Aru Lai Boli Bachan 

Just conversation for everyone else
Kanchi Lai Kakhai Ma 

My embrace reserved for only Kaanchi¹


Herda Ramro Machhapuchre 

Mount Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) is beautiful to look at
Maari Ramro Macha 
By catching a fish rivalling its beauty

Baiguni Lai Gunle Marchu 
I’ll defeat the ingrate with goodness
Khoji Lyaideu Ka Cha

Just help me search for it
