Raat Yeti Chadai Najaau - Premdhoj Pradhan

रात यति चाँडै नजाऊ - प्रेमध्वज प्रधान

Recorded live during 'Paleti with Premdhoj Pradhan - January 2008'

Lyrics

रात यति चाँडै नजाऊ
मेरो माया मेरो कथा पूरा हुन बाँकी नै छ
मेरो तारासँग मेरो कुरा हुुन बाँकी नै छ
रात यति चाँडै नजाऊ

रुनै लुक्नुपर्ने दिनको
अँगालो म रुचाउन्नँ
तारालाई भगाइदिने
उज्यालो म रुचाउन्नँ

मलाई तिम्रो शून्यतामा
गीत यति मिठो लाग्छ
मलाई गाऊ भन्नेहरू
आवाज सबै झूटो लाग्छ

Transliterated

Raat yati chandai najaoo
Mero maya mero katha pura huna baki nai chha
Mero tarasanga mero kura huuna baki nai chha
Raat yati chandai najaoo

Runai luknuparne dinko
Angalo ma ruchaunnan
Taralai bhagaidine
Ujyalo ma ruchaunnan

Malai timro shunyatama
Geet yati mitho lagchha
Malai gaoo bhanneharu
Aawaj sabai jhuto lagchha

Translated

Night, do not pass away soon
My love story is yet incomplete
I have to speak with my stars
Night, go only very slowly

I never desire embrace of a day
Where I need to hide even to cry
I never desire for that light
That dispels stars in the night

Wonderful are the song of that kind
The ones playing in your silence
To those of you who ask me to sing
I can only say this much now -
That even a sound seems so fake
Let alone the hum of a song
