What do I have in these hills, other than a life full of hardship?

Sabailai Bida Diyi Ruwaudai Sabko Mann

I’ll say goodbye to everyone, leaving their hearts in tears.

Saathi Bhai Aanshu Jharchhan Ruwaudai Sabko Mann

My friends and brothers will shed tears, their hearts filled with sadness.

Ke Nai Chha Yo Jiwanma Dukha Bahek Ek Jyan

What do I have in this life, other than a life full of hardship?

Aakashmuni Sapanaharu Bagekacha Hawa Sangai

Beneath the sky, my dreams have drifted away with the wind.

Sano Sano Yaadharuma Bachpan Lukeko Jhai

It feels like my childhood is hidden away in those little memories.

Guru Ba Aamai Chhadi Kapi Kalam Harayo

Leaving my parents behind, I lost touch with my books and writing.

Schoolko Kothai Bhitra Bheda Bakhra Ganayo

Instead of being in school, I ended up counting sheep and goats.

Aba Ta Basai Uthyo Chhodi Aafnai Ghar

Now I’ve left my own home and moved away.

Kukhurako Daakai Sanga Bhaagyo Hamro Bau

Our father left at daybreak, with the rooster’s crow.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Listen, listen, listen, just listen.

Lau Suna Suna Hai Lai Lai

Come, listen now, lai lai.

Sano Sano Baatma Hidne Ti Dinharu

Those days when I walked along the little paths.

Maaya Bhaari Gaauko Ti Mitho Yaad Haru

Those sweet memories of the village I loved so much.

Jhyal Bata Hidda Paani Himal Hasidinthyo

Even from my window, the Himalayas seemed to smile at me.

Bachpanko Tyo Sansar Sapna Jastai Thiyo

That world of childhood felt like a dream.

Guru Ba Aamai Chhadi Kapi Kalam Harayo

Leaving my parents behind, I lost touch with my books and writing.

Schoolko Kothai Bhitra Bheda Bakhra Ganayo

Instead of being in school, I ended up counting sheep and goats.

Aba Ta Basai Uthyo Chhodi Aafnai Ghar

Now I’ve left my own home and moved away.

Kukhurako Daakai Sanga Bhagyo Hamro Bau

Our father left at daybreak, with the rooster’s crow.

Lau Suna Suna Suna, Suna Suna Suna

Listen, listen, listen, just listen.

Lau Suna Suna Hai, Lai Lai

Come, listen now, lai lai.
