Lyrics

झमझम पानी पर्‌यो असारको रात
बारीबाट बज्न लागे मकैका पात

जुनकिरीमा झल्याकझुलुक बलेसीको धारा
कहाँ होला डाँडामाथि झुल्किएको तारा

संगीतको संसारमा कहाँनिर ब्यूँझिऊँ
आधा रातमा एक्लै उठी आज कसलाई सम्झिऊँ

रिमिझ्मिी धारासँगै गाऊँगाऊँ लाग्छ
जुनकिरीको साथ उडी जाऊँजाऊँ लाग्छ

कति मीठो आधा रातमै झुल्किएको तारा
अझ् मीठो मनमनै सम्झ्एिको प्यारा

सानी पनि गाउँछे मेरो वन पनि गाउँछ
हर्ष पनि आउँछ हजुर पीर पनि आउँछ

Transliterated

Jhamajham paani par‌yo asarko raat
Baribata bajna lage makaika paat

Junakirima jhalyakajhuluk balesiko dhara
Kaha hola dandamathi jhulkieko tara

Sangitko sansarma kahannir byunjhioo
Aadha raatma eklai uthi aaja kaslai samjhioo

Rimijhmii dharasangai gaoongaoo lagchha
Junakiriko sath udi jaoonjaoo lagchha

Kati mitho aadha ratamai jhulkieko tara
Ajh mitho manamanai samjheiko pyara

Sani pani gaunchhe mero wana pani gaunchha
Harsha pani aaunchha hajur pir pani aaunchha

Translated

On a monsoon night, it starts to rain
On leaves of corn, music begins to play

Fireflies flash their lights all around
From roof ends water sluices down

The star that was rising on a hilltop
Where would it be glittering now

Where do I wake in this musical world
Who to miss at midnight waking up alone

Rainwater sparkles, to it I want to sing
With the fireflies, I want to go out flying

Sweet is the star, revealing at midnight
Sweeter is the one, missed in the heart

My Sani* sings along, so does the forest
Joys also appear, so does the torment

*Beloved or girlfriend
