Lyrics in Nepali :

गीताङ्गे दाइ पहाडी गीत गाऊ पहाडी भएर

ढुंगा, माटो, गुराँस, धुपी राम्ररी चिनेर

विदेश मात्र नहेरिदेऊ सुखलाई सम्झेर

विदेशी हुँदा अस्तित्व लुक्यो बतासे भएर

कमेरोले लिपेको भित्ता ठाउँठाउँमा उक्केर

झरी है दियो दुखिया बनी विदेशी भएर

मझेरीको गोबर चोखो गयो’नि सुकेर

आयौ कि भनी देउराली हेर्छ चौतारी फर्केर

पहिरो टाढा छातीमा च्यापी झाडजंगल कराउँछ

फर्क न दाइ पहाडे संसार अब त हराउँछ

Lyrics in Roman :

Gitange dai pahadi geet gaoo pahadi bhaera

Dhunga, mato, guransa, dhupi ramrari chinera

Widesh matra naherideoo sukhlai samjhera

Wideshi hudaa astitwa lukyo batase bhaera

Kamerole lipeko bhitta thaunthauma ukkera

Jhari hai diyo dukhiya bani wideshi bhaera

Majheriko gobar chokho gayo’ni sukera

Aayau ki bhani deurali herchha chautari pharkera

Pahiro tadha chhatima chyapi jhadajangal karaunchha

Pharka na dai pahade sansar aba ta haraunchha

Translated Lyrics:

Brother bard, 

Sing the songs of the mountain like a mountain man

Understand these stone, earth, juniper and rhododendron

In finding a good life do not only turn to a foreign land

Like a gush of wind the identity of an outsider is unseen

Layers of mud on the clay wall ruptured in many places

It began to fall when the sad one chose the foreign land

The cow dung on the floor with all its purity has dried

The Chautari turns back at Deurali as if you have arrived  

Embracing a landslide to its heart the deep forest shrieks afar 

Turn back brother the world of mountains will soon vanish far
