Gitange Dai - Dawa Gyalmo

गीताङ्गे दाइ पहाडी गीत गाऊ पहाडी भएर
ढुंगा, माटो, गुराँस, धुपी राम्ररी चिनेर

विदेश मात्र नहेरिदेऊ सुखलाई सम्झेर
विदेशी हुँदा अस्तित्व लुक्यो बतासे भएर
कमेरोले लिपेको भित्ता ठाउँठाउँमा उक्केर
झरी है दियो दुखिया बनी विदेशी भएर

मझेरीको गोबर चोखो गयो’नि सुकेर
आयौ कि भनी देउराली हेर्छ चौतारी फर्केर
पहिरो टाढा छातीमा च्यापी झाडजंगल कराउँछ
फर्क न दाइ पहाडे संसार अब त हराउँछ

Gitange dai pahadi geet gaoo pahadi bhaera
Dhunga, mato, guransa, dhupi ramrari chinera

Widesh matra naherideoo sukhlai samjhera
Wideshi hudaa astitwa lukyo batase bhaera
Kamerole lipeko bhitta thaunthauma ukkera
Jhari hai diyo dukhiya bani wideshi bhaera

Majheriko gobar chokho gayo’ni sukera
Aayau ki bhani deurali herchha chautari pharkera
Pahiro tadha chhatima chyapi jhadajangal karaunchha
Pharka na dai pahade sansar aba ta haraunchha

Brother bard,
Sing the songs of the mountain like a mountain man
Understand these stone, earth, juniper and rhododendron

In finding a good life do not only turn to a foreign land
Like a gush of wind the identity of an outsider is unseen
Layers of mud on the clay wall ruptured in many places
It began to fall when the sad one chose the foreign land

The cow dung on the floor with all its purity has dried
The Chautari turns back at Deurali as if you have arrived
Embracing a landslide to its heart the deep forest shrieks afar
Turn back brother the world of mountains will soon vanish far
