fluttering silk ... a nepalese folk song


Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.

My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly or sit on the hill top

kodu charyo, makai charyo, dhan chareko china,
Na au kanchi, Pachi pachi, manpareko china.

Millet is planted, corn is planted, but not the rice
Don’t follow me little girl, because I don’t like you.

Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.

My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly or sit on the hill top

Kukuralaai kuti kuti biraalo laai suri
Timro haamro maayaa priti, dobato ma kuri

To the dog it’s puppy, puppy, to the cat it’s meow meow
Our love is waiting at the crossroads

Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.

My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly
or sit on the hill top
