Lyrics

गोठालो जाँदा लाएको माया खेतालो जाँदा फुलेछ
पोखरा जाँदा गाएको माया काठमाण्डौं जाँदा भुलेछ
निष्ठुरी मायालु

बाटो त टाढा थिएन तर मन धेरै टाढा भएछ
रोदीको रानो छोडेर मौरी नौडाँडा काटी गएछ
निष्ठुरी मायालु

पुरानो माया फाटेर हो कि बिरानो नयाँ रोजेको
माया त बुढो हुँदैन हजुर बिर्सन हो कि खोजेको
निष्ठुरी मायालु

Transliterated

Gothalo janda laeko maya khetalo janda phulechha
Pokhara janda gaeko maya kathamandu janda bhulechha
Nishthuri mayalu

Bato ta tadha thiena tara mana dherai tadha bhaechha
Rodiko rano chhodera mauri naudanda kati gaechha
Nishthuri mayalu

Purano maya phatera ho ki birano naya rojeko
Maya ta budho hundaina hajur birsana ho ki khojeko
Nishthuri mayalu

Translated

The love we made while herding the cattle
Blossomed when the time for plantation came
The love we sang while in Pokhara
You forgot it all upon reaching Kathmandu
What a heartless love…

The road was not long but the heart distanced
Leaving behind the queen bee of Rodi Ghar
The bee crossed the nine hills and flew away
What a heartless love…

Was it because my old love was torn
That I chose a new distant one
Love will never grow old my dear
But seems you are trying to forget it all
What a heartless love...
