Nepalma Janmadai - Ganesh Rashik

नेपालमा जन्मँदै - गणेश राशिक

Recorded live during 'Paleti with Ganesh Rashik - August 2006'

Lyrics

सुन नेपाली हो 
नेपालमा जन्मँदै नेपाली हुनेहरू
नेपालको माटो टेकी संसार हेर्नेहरू
तिम्रो आँखाको नानी नेपाल हो कि होइन
त्यो नेपालको माया तिम्रो मुटुमा छ कि छैन
सुन नेपाली हो 

स्वावलम्बी हात माग्न फैलिँदैन
खुकुरीको धारले दबाव सहँदैन
झुकी मरेको लाश उठाउँदा बौरँदैन
साँचो नेपाली त्यो हो जो कहिल्यै मर्दैन
सुन नेपाली हो 

जो अन्याय गर्दैन अन्याय त्यो सहँदैन
भोकै नांगै बस्छ दासत्व सहँदैन
सुनको पिँजडाभित्र स्वाधीनता कहाँ हुन्छ
साँचो नेपाली त्यो हो जो जन्मै स्वाधीन हुन्छ
सुन नेपाली हो

Transliterated

Suna nepali ho 
Nepalma janmandai nepali huneharu
Nepalko mato teki sansar herneharu
Timro aankhako nani nepal ho ki hoina
Tyo nepalko maya timro mutuma chha ki chhaina
Suna nepali ho 

Swawalambi hat magna phailindaina
Khukuriko dharle dabav sahandaina
Jhuki mareko lash uthaunda baurandaina
Sancho nepali tyo ho jo kahilyai mardaina
Suna nepali ho 

Jo anyaya gardaina anyaya tyo sahandaina
Bhokai nangai baschha dasatwa sahandaina
Sunako pinjadabhitra swadhinata kaha hunchha
Sancho nepali tyo ho jo janmai swadhina hunchha
Suna nepali ho

Translated

Listen you Nepalis
Born in Nepal as a Nepali
Those of you who look out
To the world from a Nepali soil
Tell me if the retina in your eyes
Is itself a Nepal or not
Do you have the love
For that Nepal in your heart
Listen oh you Nepalis

Self supporting hands do not beg alms
A Khukuri’s edge do not tolerate suppression
The corpses of those slain in a defeat
Cannot be brought back to life
A true Nepali is the one who never dies
Listen oh you Nepalis

Those who do no injustice also don’t tolerate it
They rather will remain hungry and naked
But never will give in to slavery
Sovereignty does not exist inside a golden cage
A true Nepali is the one who is born unrestrained
Listen of you Nepalis
