Maathi Maathi Sailungema - Kunti Moktan

माथिमाथि शैलुङ्गेमा चौंरी डुलाउनेलाई
हत्केलामा मायाको गुराँस फुलाउनेलाई
भन्दिनू है भन्दिनू है मेरो चुल्ठो खाली छ
उनको त्यो मनै जाली छ

कत्ति खोज्छन् बिनायो रानी मालिङ्गोका
कत्ति हेर्छन् तामाङ सेलो डाँफे मुनालका
यसो यता नहेरेर मलाई सताउनेलाई
भन्दिनू है भन्दिनू है मेरो जोवन थाती छ
उनको त्यो मनै जाली छ

मैलेजति मारुनी कल्ले नाचेको छ
कुमारीको बैंशजस्तो कुन फूल हाँसेको छ
जानीजानी यस्तो बेला मलाई रुवाउनेलाई
भन्दिनू है भन्दिनू है मेरो आँसु साक्षी छ
उनको त्यो मनै जाली छ

Mathi mathi sailungema chauri dulaunelai
Hatkelama mayako guras phulaunelai
Bhandinu hai bhandinu hai mero chultho khali chha
Unko tyo manai jaali chha

Katti khojchhan binayo rani malingoka
Katti herchhan tamang selo danphe munalaka
Yaso yata naherera malai sataunelai
Bhandinu hai bhandinu hai mero jowana thati chha
Unako tyo manai jali chha

Mailejati maaruni kalle nacheko chha
Kumariko bainshajasto kuna phool hanseko chha
Janijani yasto bela malai ruwaunelai
Bhandinu hai bhandinu hai mero aansu sakshi chha
Unko tyo manai jaali chha

To the one who herds Yaks high up in Sailunge
Who blossoms Rhododendrons on his palm
Tell him my locks of hair still remain empty
And that he has but a deceitful heart

So many desire for a Binayo of Rani Malingo
So many watch Tamang Selo of Danfe Munal
To the one who torments me denying his glance
Tell him my youthful yearning remains stacked
And that he has but a deceitful heart

Binayo - Bamboo cane Jaw Harp
Rani Malingo - A special Himalayan cane
Tamang Selo - Traditional Tamang dance
Danfe Munal - Himalayan Pheasants
Maruni - Traditional festive dance

Who can dance the Maruni like I do
Even flowers can’t smile like this youthful virgin
To the one who torments me knowing all this
Tell him that my tears stand witness of it
And that he has but a deceitful heart

Binayo - Bamboo cane Jaw Harp
Rani Malingo - A special Himalayan cane
Tamang Selo - Traditional Tamang dance
Danfe Munal - Himalayan Pheasants
