Lyrics:

उडीउडी मन भाग्छ किन
Why does my heart flutter,
तिम्रैतिर? हेर, भन, के गरूँ म?
Towards you? Look, tell me, what should I do?
चाहेर पनि मैले भन्न सकिन
Even wanting to, I couldn't say,
तिमीलाई, मेरो मुटु चोरिसक्यौ तिमीले
To you, you've stolen my heart.
भागेर शरीरबाट यो आत्माले छोडेर गाछ
Running away from the body, this soul leaves the tree,
तिम्लाई नै खोजी हिँड्छु रे
And searches only for you.
मेरो दिन बरबाद भो यादमा तिम्रो फेरि
My day is ruined again in your memory,
बिहानीको सुरुवात भो यादमा तिम्रो फेरि
The start of the morning is again in your memory.
उडीउडी मन भाग्छ किन
Why does my heart flutter,
तिम्रैतिर? हेर, भन, के गरूँ म?
Towards you? Look, tell me, what should I do?
मुस्कानले तिम्रो मेरो मन सारङ्गीझैँ
Your smile makes my heart like a sarangi,
आज बज्न थाल्यो, भन, के गरूँ म? के गरूँ?
Today it starts to play, tell me, what should I do? What should I do?
हाँसेर बोल न, माया, सहन सकिन्न
Speak with a smile, my love, I can't bear it,
रुठो तिमी भइदिए कि दुखिदिन्छ मन नै
If you become upset, it pains my heart.
चुँडिएला बाजाका तार, तर मन त मेरो सालौँसाल
The strings of the instrument may wear out, but my heart will play for years,
तिमी सुन्छौ भने बजिरहन्छ रे
If you listen, it will keep playing.
तिम्रो र मेरो भेट भो सन्जोगले भन्छौ कि?
Do you say that our meeting was by chance?
नियति नै तिम्रै लागि लेख्नु रैछ यो गीत
It seems fate itself wrote this song for you.
मेरो दिन बरबाद भो यादमा तिम्रो फेरि
My day is ruined again in your memory,
बिहानीको सुरुवात भो यादमा तिम्रो फेरि
The start of the morning is again in your memory.
उडीउडी मन भाग्छ किन
Why does my heart flutter,
तिम्रैतिर? हेर, भन, के गरूँ म?
Towards you? Look, tell me, what should I do?
मुस्कानले तिम्रो मेरो मन सारङ्गीझैँ
Your smile makes my heart like a sarangi,
आज बज्न थाल्यो, भन, के गरूँ म?
Today it starts to play, tell me, what should I do?
मीठो-मीठो कुरा गर न, सुनूँ म कसरी?
Speak sweetly, how should I listen?
गहिरो, कालो ती आँखामा हेरेँ, भुलूँ म कसरी?
I looked into those deep, dark eyes, how should I forget?
मीठो-मीठो कुरा गर न, सुनूँ म कसरी?
Speak sweetly, how should I listen?
गहिरो, कालो ती आँखामा हेरेँ, भुलूँ म कसरी?
I looked into those deep, dark eyes, how should I forget?
मुस्कानले तिम्रो मेरो मन सारङ्गीझैँ
Your smile makes my heart like a sarangi,
आज बज्न थाल्यो, भन, के गरूँ म? के गरूँ?
Today it starts to play, tell me, what should I do? What should I do?
तिम्रै अभाव महसुस भाछ
I feel your absence,
छ हताश मनमा, तिमी नै जवाफ
In my despairing heart, you are the answer.
तिम्रै अभाव महसुस भाछ
I feel your absence,
छ हताश मनमा, तिमी नै जवाफ
In my despairing heart, you are the answer.
तिम्रो र मेरो भेट भो सन्जोगले भन्छौ कि?
Do you say that our meeting was by chance?
नियति नै तिम्रै लागि लेख्नु रैछ यो गीत
It seems fate itself wrote this song for you.
