Ritu Haruma - Arun Thapa [Lyrics and English Translation]



Ritu Haru Ma Timi Hariyali Basanta Hau
Among the seasons, you are the verdant spring
Nadi Haru Maa Timi Ho Pabitra Ganga Hau
Among the rivers, you are the holy Ganga


Nirdosha Chhan Ti Timra Hatkela Haru
Those palms of yours are innocent
Tara Maya Le Bhariyeka Chhan Aula Haru
But your fingers are brimmed with love
Pabitra Chhan Timra Laajaka Gahana
Your jewelry of shyness is pure
Tara Chaahana Le Bhijeka Chhan Onth Haru
But your lips are drenched in desire


Hawa Haru Ma Timi Shital Pawan Hau
Among the winds, you are the cool breeze
Nadi Haru Maa Timi Ho Pabitra Ganga Hau
Among the rivers, you are the holy Ganga


Prakriti Le Malai Janma Diyeki
Nature conceived me
Timro Siundo Ma Sindoor Bharna
To put sindoor along your hair-parting
Saraswati Le Kalam Thamayeki
Saraswati (Goddess of knowledge) handed me the pencil
Timro Sundarta Ko Sadhai Bayaan Garna
To illustrate your beauty in works of art


Phool Haru Maa Timi Komal Gulaab Hau
Among the flowers, you are the delicate rose
Nadi Haru Maa Timi Ho Pabitra Ganga Hau
Among the rivers, you are the holy Ganga


Ritu Haru Ma Timi Hariyali Basanta Hau
Among the seasons, you are the verdant spring
Nadi Haru Maa Timi Ho Pabitra Ganga Hau
Among the rivers, you are the holy Ganga

Rato Rani - Danny Denzongpa / Prashant Tamang [Lyrics and English Translation]


Rato Rani Phule Jhai Sanjhama
Like the Queen of the Night blooming at dusk
Timi Phulyou Kaleji Majhama
You blossomed right in the center of my heart
Manko Rahara
My heart’s desire
Kanchhilai Ghumaune Kathmandu Sahara
To show my beloved around Kathmandu city


Sindur Diula Pote Diula Maya Bhakera
I’ll grace you with sindur and pote with a promise of love
Chandra Jasto Timro Muhaar Dilma Rakhera
Your moon-bright face always stitched to my heart


Ma Ta Aaye Mayalai Samjhera
I return for my love
Maya Laaideu Timrai Ho Bhanera
Will you accept me like I was never gone
Manko Rahara
My heart’s desire
Kanchhilai Ghumaune Kathmandu Sahara
To show my beloved around Kathmandu city


Laliguras Banai Bhari Banai Ramailo
The forest relishes its cloak of rhododendron
Timi Paaye Jindagimaa Manai Ramailo
My heart would likewise relish your companionship for life
Ma Ta Aako Nau Dada Kaatera
I came negotiating the nine mountains
Lanchhu Timilai Motorma Rakhera
With the intent of stowing you away in an automobile
Manko Rahara
My heart’s desire
Kanchhilai Ghumaune Kathmandu Sahara
To show my beloved around Kathmandu city


Rato Rani Phule Jhai Sanjhama
Like the Queen of the night blooming at dusk
Timi Phulyou Kaleji Majhama
You blossomed right in the center of my heart
Manko Rahara
My heart’s desire
Kanchhilai Ghumaune Kathmandu Sahara
To show my beloved around Kathmandu city

Laure - Banawati Lyrics English Translation



Maan Bhitra Thuprai Prasna Cha
A lot of questions beset my heart
Uttar Sabai Banawati
Answers all artificial
Banawati Haso, Banawati Ashu,
Artificial laughter, artificial tears,
Sayad Bhagwan Nai Banawati Bhayera Hola
Perhaps because god himself is artificial
Yestai Cha Ma Baneko Haad Ra Maasu
So are the bones and the muscles that make me

Godhelu Saajh Ko Jhismiss
In the mystery of the gloaming
 Ma Haraye Maile Afno Sabai Anmol Chijbij
I seem to have lost all my precious belongings
Thakeko Mero Asha, Pakeko Cha Kaan 
Jaded my hope, deflated my ears
Sunda Sunda Kich Kich
from hearing all the grumblings


Aja Malai Ekanta Ma Bhakkano Chadi Runu Maan Cha
Today I wish to bawl my eyes out in solitude
Maan Ko Ghau Nunilo Ashu Le Pakhali Dhunu Maan Cha
With tears salty I wish to wash away my heart’s wounds
Sayad Dherai Gare Paap
Perhaps I’ve lost count of my sins
Aaja Sarap Ko Aago Jalera Pabitra Hunu Mann Cha
 Today I wish to be anointed in the inferno of the liquor


Hami Bhagwan Ko Bachha,
We, the children of god,
 Sanai Dekhi Sarai Kachha
Brittle from birth
"Abbui Bhoot!" Bhanera Khub
Darainthiyo, Jun Thiyo Adrisya
“Eek Ghost!” we used to be scared,
of that which was invisible
Ahiley Bhoot Bhanda Badi Daar
Lagcha Samjhera Afnai Vavisye
Now more frightening than the
ghost turned out to be our future


Hey Daiba !
Oh god!
Bhanthiyeu Timle Sadaiba,
Didn’t you say that forever
Satye Ko Jeet Huncha
Truth triumphs
“Pvvtt”
 Khai Ta ?
However?


Ma Hereko Herey Chu,
I have been waiting for a confessional,
 Timro Niyem Napachera Chereko Cherai Chu
Been having loose motion for your rules are indigestible


Yo Banawati Janjaal Ko Sansar Ma
In this artificial mess of the world
Yo Sworga Ra Prithivi Ko Vansar Ma
In the confluence of heaven and earth
Katai Dhadali Ta Vayena ?
Was everything fair?
Narga Ko Saitan, Katai Yeha Ta Aayena?
Did the devil from hell truly not escape here?


Chanchaley Mero Anga, Bholi Hune Cha Bhanga
Sprightly my body, tomorrow will be shoddy
Tessaile Aajai Bujhaideu Bhagwan, Timro Niyet Charlanga
So it is today I want the answers god to your morality


Kina Uthcha Parkhal?
Why do barriers rise?
Chhuttauna Dhani, Garib, Jaat Bhat Ra Ghar Bar
To distinguish rich from poor, lows from highs
Kina Uthcha Afnai Manche Mathi Tarbal?
Why do swords rise to one’s own’s demise?
Kina Dhalcha Darbar?
Why do castles (dynasties) capsize?
Yesari Ma Prasna Haru Janjaal Ma Fasirahechu Har Saal
In the mess of questions such every year I am paralyzed


Tara Uttar Sabai Banawati
The answers all artificial
Sabai Banawati
All artificial

Maile Maya Garna - Deepak Limbu [Lyrics English Translation]




Maile Maya Garna Jaanina Hola
Maybe I misperceived the meaning of love
Timile Sikaauna Sakthyou Ni
You could have instructed me
Ke Chhaadi Jaanaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?
Ke Chhaadi Jaanaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?



Maile Timilai Bujhna Sakina Hola
Maybe I couldn’t unravel the mystery that is you
Timile Bujhauna Sakthyou Ni
You could have helped me
Ke Tadhi Jaanaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?
Ke Tadhi Jaanaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?



Sabai Kura Ekai Choti Kasle Po Jaandachha Ra
No one is born cognizant of everything
Janme Dekhi Mrityu Samma Sikdai Sikdai Jaane Hoina Ra?
Aren’t we supposed to learn it all gradually?
Maile Khusi Dina Jaanina Hola
Maybe I was unaware of your unhappiness
Timile Sikaauna Sakthyou Ni
You could’ve apprised me
Ke Chhaadi Janaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?
Ke Chhadi Jaanaiparthyo Ra?
Did you actually have to leave?



Bhool Hunchha Manchhe Bata
To err is human
Maafi Pani Dinu Parchha
To forgive is as well
Samayamai Aafno Parai Manko
In time one has to differentiate
Meet Chinnu Parchha
One’s own from an outsider
Maile Sukha Dina Nasake Pani
Even though I couldn’t give you joy
Juni Juni Saaath Dinthe Ni
I would have been there for you for eternity


Ke Chhadi Jaanaiparthyo Ra
Did you actually have to leave?
