Lolayeka (Translated)


- original Nepali words by MBB Shah, sung by Ghulam Ali
- translation by Prayash

A look with those big dreamy eyes,
And I won’t need anything else.

I want to be the fortunate ring of your hand, feel your touch,
And I won’t need anything else.
Your pretty face makes the moon blush; I want to see it for a moment,
And I won’t need anything else.

Those big dreamy eyes…

I want to be the ghada* full of water next to your shapely waistline,
And I won’t need anything else.
I want the shades of your hair as dark as Bhadau’s** rainclouds,
And I won’t need anything else.

A look with those big dreamy eyes,
And I won’t need anything else.

*Ghada is a type of bucket or container used to carry and hold water.
**Bhadau is a month in Nepali calendar and it falls sometime during August and September
