Lyrics

केटि:
माया-पिरतीको चोखो कथा यो
जुग-जुग सुनाइ सुनाईरहुन्

केटा:
पाखा-पर्वतले गुन्जाईरहुन्
खोला-नालाले गाईरहुन्

केटा:
तिमी चन्द्रमा हौ म धर्तीको धूलो
तिमीलाई छुन खोज्नु कतै भूल त हैन

केटि:
माया हो ईश्वर यो ईश्वर हो माया
प्रभुसँग पिरती कबै भूल हुँदैन
हो कबै भूल हुँदैन
माया पिरतीको माला जपी
दुई मुटु ढुकढुकाईरहुन्

केटि:
खुशी दुई हृदयको सहन्न रे दुनिया
धेरै माया भए बिछोड हुन्छ भन्छन्

केटा:
लगन साँचो भएमा कुनै न कुनै दिन
दुई आत्माको फेरी मिलन हुन्छ भन्छन्
हो मिलन हुन्छ भन्छन्
यो आकाश र धर्ती सरी
अमर माया लाईरहुन्
माया प्रीतीको चोखो कथा यो...

Keti:
Maya-piratiko chokho katha yo
Juga-jug sunai sunairahun

Keta:
Pakha-parwatle gunjairahun
Khola-nalale gairahun

Keta:
Timi chandrama hau ma dhartiko dhulo
Timilai chhuna khojnu katai bhul ta haina

Keti:
Maya ho ishwar yo ishwar ho maya
Prabhusanga pirati kabai bhul hundaina
Ho kabai bhul hundaina
Maya piratiko mala japi
Dui mutu dhukadhukairahun

Keti:
Khushi dui hridayako sahanna re duniya
Dherai maya bhae bichhod hunchha bhanchhan

Keta:
Lagana sancho bhaema kunai na kunai din
Dui aatmako pheri milana hunchha bhanchhan
Ho milana hunchha bhanchhan
Yo aakash ra dharti sari
Amar maya lairahun
Maya pritiko chokho katha yo...

Translated

F
Let this true story of love
Be heard through hundreds of years

M
Let the rocks and the mountain resonate it
Let the streams and rivers sing of it

F
Let this true story of love
be heard through hundreds of years

M
You are the moon I am an earthly dust
Will it be a mistake to dare touch you
F
Love is god and god is love
Love is never a mistake to the divine
Let the two hearts beat as one
As they count the beads of love

M
Let this true story of love
Be heard through hundreds of years

F
They say the world doesn’t tolerate
The happiness the two hearts can find
They say too much love
Is bound to separate the two

M
If all good omen are found to be true
They say one day the two souls will unite
Let us be in a love so eternal
Like this sky and the land
