Lyrics

ल्याम्पपोस्टमुनि आगो तापिरहेछन्– नानीहरू
युगौंदेखि छ– जाडो

उहिल्यै त दाउरा बाल्थे रे ताप्न
बाल्थे रे– पानी र हावा

हामीले बाल्यौँ टायर भत्केका मिनिबसका
बाल्यौँ खबरकागज र राजनेताका पम्पलेट
आज नानीहरू बालिरहेछन्– धर्मग्रन्थका अन्तिम पृष्ठ
फिल्मफेयर र आधुनिक कविता
के बाल्लान् भोलिका नानीहरू ?
के बाल्लान् हँ.... ?!
युगौंदेखि छ– जाडो

ल्याम्पपोस्टमुनि आगो तापिरहेछन्– नानीहरू

Transliterated

Lamppostmuni aago tapirahechhan– naniharu
Yugaudekhi chha– jado

Uhilyai ta daura balthe re tapna
Balthe re– paani ra hawa

Hamile balyau tayar bhatkeka minibaska
Balyau khabarakagaj ra rajanetaka pampalet
Aaja naniharu balirahechhan– dharmagranthaka antim prishtha
Philmapheyar ra aadhunik kawita
Ke ballan bholika naniharu ?
Ke ballan han.... ?!
Yugaudekhi chha– jado

Lamppostmuni aago tapirahechhan– naniharu

Translated

The fire under the lamppost was lit by the children

Winter has been here for ages.

In the past, they used to burn wooden sticks to warm themselves
Burn – water and air

We lit tires of broken minibuses
Lit newspapers and pamphlets of politicians

We burned newspapers and politicians' pamphlets
Today the children are burning the last pages of scriptures, Filmfare and Modern Poetry

What will the children of tomorrow burn
What will they burn.
