Chaubandi Choli - 1974 AD Lyrics & Chords

Chaubandi Choli

by 1974 AD

"Chaubandi Choli" is a legendary, evergreen Nepali folk-rock song written, composed, and sung by Phiroj Shyangden for the pioneering Nepali rock band 1974 AD. The track centers on the theme of traditional beauty and youthful romance, capturing a narrator who falls deeply in love with a village girl (Kanchi) returning home from a local festival (Mela). The title itself refers to the Chaubandi Cholo, a traditional four-tied Nepali blouse worn with a floral patterned sari (Phool Butte Saari). Lyrically, the song celebrates her captivating smile, her sweet voice resembling the native Nyaauli bird, and her shy glances, expressing how these vivid memories remain etched in the narrator's heart and mind. Musically, the song represents 1974 AD's mastery in blending western rock structures with distinctively native Nepali musical elements. It features a captivating acoustic guitar progression, a steady rhythm section driving the groove, and soulful flute arrangements that evoke the atmospheric charm of the Nepali hills. Phiroj Shyangden’s distinct vocal delivery gives the track an enduring, nostalgic quality that continues to cross generations. Decades after its release, "Chaubandi Choli" remains a staple in the band’s live sets—often performed in popular unplugged live versions on YouTube—and stands proudly as a timeless masterpiece in the history of modern Nepali music.
