Lyrics

फूलको डाली डाली हल्ली हल्ली
ती पातली पाइताली चाली उचाली पिहुँ पिहुँ
बनकी चरी सानी नचाऊ मलाई पनि
तिमी जस्तै छम छम

तिमीले पनि भोगकी छौ आफ्नो जिन्दगानी
देख्यौ होली मैले जस्तै सयौं घाम पानी
दुःख सुखमा रुने हाँस्ने मानिसको बानी
तिम्रो आँसु देखिन है मैले कहिल्यै पनि
विपत्तिमा पनि हाँस्ने सिकाऊ मलाई बानी

हावा जस्तै खुल्ला हुन सिकाऊ मलाई पनि
खोली जस्तै चोखी हुन सिकाऊ मलाई पनि
आफ्नै खाने आफ्नै लाउने बनाऊ मलाई पनि
प्रकृतीलाई रुप भर्ने बनाऊ मलाई पनि
नबिझाई कहीँ सबैलाई रिझाउने बानी
बनकी चरी सानी नचाऊ मलाई पनि
तिमी जस्तै छम छम

Transliterated

Phoolko dhali dhali halli halli
Ti patali paitali chali uchali pihu pihu
Banaki chari sani nachau malai pani
Timi jastai chham chham

Timile pani bhogki chhau aaphno jindagani
Dekhyau holi maile jastai sayau gham pani
Dukh sukhma rune hansne manisko bani
Timro aanshu dekhena hai maile kahilyai pani
Nabijaekai sabailai bijaune bani

Hawa jastai khulla huna sikau malai pani
Boli jastai chokhi huna sikau malai pani
Aaphnai khane aaphnai laune banau malai pani
Prakritilai rup bharne banau malai pani
Sukh dukhma pani hasne banau malai pani
Banaki chari sani nachau malai pani
Timi jastai chham chham

Translated

Around flowers and on its branches
You hop and jiggle through boughs
Tender steps each with alert pause
Singing Phiuu…Phiuu…
Little bird of the forest
Won’t you make me dance
Make me move like you entranced
Chham...Chham…

You have lived your life
And witnessed many times
Sun and rain of a life like mine
I cry and rejoice in pain and joy
I never saw you in tears to cry
You win everyone’s pure heart
Without any effort every while

Teach me,
To be broad like the winds
To utter pure like you speak
Make me free to find,
My own food and a place to be
Make me a part of her
A lovely ornament of nature
Tell me how,
To keep joy in painful times
