बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो lyrics

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो।

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo.

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'.

आन्दोलनको मैदान युद्धस्थल बनाइयो,

Aandolanko maidan yuddhasthal banaaiyo,

The protest ground was turned into a battlefield,

टाउको, गर्दन र छातीमा तातो गोली बर्साइयो।

Taauko, gardan ra chhaatima taato goli barsaaiyo.

Hot bullets were rained down on my head, neck, and chest.

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो।

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo.

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'.

शासकको शक्तिका सामुन्ने म टिक्न सकिनँ,

I couldn't stand against the power of the ruler,

आमा, म रगतको आहालबाट उठेर आउन सकिनँ।

Mother, I couldn't rise from the pool of blood.

बुवा, म बुढेसकालको सहारा बन्न सकिनँ,

Father, I couldn't become the support of your old age,

परिवर्तनको सपना पूरा गर्न सकिनँ।

I couldn't fulfill the dream of change.

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो।

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo.

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'.

आमा, तिमीले पकाएको खाना खान पाइनँ,

Mother, I couldn't eat the food you cooked,

बुवा, तिम्रा थाकेका पाइलामा साथ दिन पाइनँ।

Father, I couldn't accompany your tired steps.

बहिनीको बिहेमा जन्ती बनेर जान पाइनँ,

I couldn't go as a wedding guest to my sister's marriage,

भाइको हात समाई विद्यालय पुर्‍याउन पाइनँ।

I couldn't take my brother's hand and lead him to school.

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो।

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo.

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'.

मेरो सिरानीमा अझै किताबहरू होलान्,

Mero siraanimaa ajhai kitaabaharu holaan,

There might still be books on my pillow,

कापीका पानामा अधुरा सपनाहरू होलान्।

Kaapikaa paanaamaa adhuraa sapanaaharu holaan.

There might be unfinished dreams on the pages of my notebook.

स्कुल जाने झोला कुनामा रोइरहेको होला,

Skul jaane jholaa kunaamaa roiraheko holaa,

My school bag might be crying in the corner,

मेरो प्रतीक्षामा घरको आँगन सुनसान होला।

Mero pratikshaamaa gharko aangan sunsaan holaa.

The courtyard of my house might be desolate, waiting for me.

आमा, मेरो गल्ती के थियो, जवाफ माग्नु,

Aama, mero galtii ke thiyo, jawaaf maagnu,

Mother, ask what my fault was, demand an answer,

बुवा, सकेसम्म मेरो रगतको हिसाब माग्नु।

Buwa, sakesamma mero ragatko hisaab maagnu.

Father, as far as possible, demand an account for my blood.

म त देश विकासकाे सपना बोकेर हिँडेको थिएँ,

I was walking with the dream of national development,

आफ्नै देशको सडकमा किन पराइझैँ मारिएँ?

Why was I killed like a stranger on the streets of my own country?

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो।

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo.

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'.

न्यायको ढोका किन बन्द गरियो?

Nyaayako dhokaa kin banda gariyo?

Why was the door of justice closed?

बाँच्न पाउने अधिकार किन खोसियो?

Why was the right to live snatched away?

लोकतन्त्रमा मानव अधिकार किन कुल्चियो?

Loktantrama maanav adhikaar kin kulchiyo?

Why were human rights trampled in a democracy?

सत्ताको उन्मादमा मानवता किन बिर्सियो?

Sattaako unmaadamaa maanavataa kin birsiyo?

Why was humanity forgotten in the intoxication of power?

बुवा, मलाई ताकेर गोली हानियो,

Buwa, malai taaker goli haaniyo,

Father, I was shot at,

आमा, मलाई ऐया भन्न नपाउँदै ढलाइयो...

Aama, malai aiya bhanna napaundai dhalaiyo...

Mother, I was felled before I could even say 'ouch'...
