Lyrics and translation Neetesh Jung Kunwar - Hallantey




Hallantey
Hallantey
ठुल दिदि बिदा भई
My big sister has left
माईला भाई पल्टने
My middle brother has joined the army
यस्तै हो भने
And me
गाउँ डुकु लण्ठने
I wander around the village
कान्छा ले पढ्दै
My younger brother is studying
आमबाबा गन्गने
My mother and father are counting mangoes
यो लाटे मोराले
Because of this, my dear
गरि खाने भएन रे
I have nothing to eat
हुन मन थिएन
I didn't want to be
मलाई नी बेरोजगार
Unemployed like this
समयले गर्दियो
But time has forced me
मेहेनत को बलात्कार
To work hard
यहाँ अगी बढ्नलाई सिदा मनले
To move forward here, my dear
मरी गएनि गाठे देन्न कोइले
No one will help you if you die
साथी भाई डुल्दै छन् सहर तिर
My friends and brothers are wandering in the city
जीवन यहि बिताउने भए मैले
If I'm going to spend my life this way
पच्चिस नी कटियो
I'm twenty-five now
ताल भने बच्चैँ
But my pond is still dry
समाजले जे सोचोस्
Whatever society thinks
बाल दिएकै नै
I've been blessed with children
अर्काको नोकरी
I don't want to
गर्न नि मन छैन
Work for someone else
साहु भई बस्नलाई
I don't have the money
पुर्खौली धन छैन
To become a businessman
बाबा सुनन
Oh dear, listen
अटेरी हैन
I'm not being stubborn
बल्ल बुज्ने भए
I'm just starting to understand
हार मान्ने छैन
I won't give up
सोचे जस्तो सजिलै केहि हुन्न
Nothing comes easy in life
भए पनि कोहिनी या खुशी छैन
Even if it does, no one is happy
मैले पनि BA pass गरेकै हो
I've also passed my BA
तर नगरी चिनाजान हुने भएन
But I don't have any connections
अब लागे हैत पाखा तिर
Now I'm going to the mountains
यो टुक्रे जीवनको के लिनु पिर
Why should I worry about this broken life?
दुईटा छोरी पाइसकी सुन्तलीले
Suntali has had two daughters
हल्ली हल्ली हिड्छु डिलै डिला
Now I wander from hill to hill
हल्लन्ते हु
I'm a vagabond
