Ma
The Shadows 'Nepal' Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

janminu kunai thulo kura hoina ma pani janme
nau mahina rakhin malai mero aama lae aaphno nanyo kokha ma
yesari ma hurkidai gaye aaphno ba aama ko haat samai
yesari ma hurkidai gaye aaphno bhanne haru ko maya sangai
jiwan lai bujhna khojda samaya lai khoji dherai dherai runthe
sabai taha aaphno thiyo hela garne haru dherai paye mailae
yesari ma gaudai hidhe khutta tanne haru ko maajha ma
yesari ma gaudaichu malai aaphno bhanne timro aagadi
bachna chahanchu ma mero haat ma kasai prati aastha rakhdina
samjhauta hoina jewan mero satya khojchu ma jhuto hoina
jijus ma sanga cha malai k ko pir
ma khojchu mero sansar yehi kahi lukeko cha
jaha gaye pani sarbanasta hernu cha malai yaha
biswas cha malai mare pachi paidaina yo jindagii
taha cha malai kasai ko lagi
mardaina yaha kohi pani
thikai cha jasto yo bachan lae
khushi sath pal pani jiuna khodai chu
jijus ma sanga cha malai k ko pir
ma khojchu mero sansar yehi katai lukeko cha
ujalo hoina aadharyo maan parcha malai
hudaina yo thau ko manche haru sanga daar lagcha
daar lagcha
(daar lagcha)




janminu kunai thulo kura hoina ma pani janme
nau mahina rakhin malai mero aama lae aaphno nanyo kokha ma

Overall Meaning

The Shadows’ “Nepal”’s song “Ma” is a lyrical exploration of the challenges of life, love, and self-discovery. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that he has not been born into any significant situation but rather shares the same fate as anyone else. He reflects on his relationship with his mother, who kept him close to her for nine months in her womb. He then paints a picture of how he and his mother have grown apart over time, and how he yearns for her affection and her touch. He is aware of the love and camaraderie that he shares with his friends, but he is also aware of the transience of life and how time slips away from us. He then goes on to discuss his innermost feelings and the things he desires.
