Farkanna Hola - John Chamling Rai Lyrics & Chords

Farkanna Hola

by John Chamling Rai

Farkanna Hola (translated as "I Might Not Return") is a deeply moving Nepali indie-pop song released in October 2023 by singer-songwriter John Chamling Rai and produced by Tunna Bell Thapa. The track captures the raw, heavy emotional weight of farewells, migration, and the existential exhaustion that comes with leaving behind loved ones. Written during a time when Rai himself was facing the challenges of moving abroad, the song serves as a musical journal of his personal farewell memories. It beautifully contrasts the painful irony of life ("Jindagi bekamfuse") where long-time close companions drift away for good, while complete strangers unexpectedly become your closest pillars of support in a new, unfamiliar place. Musically, the song relies on a melancholic acoustic arrangement enriched by the evocative, traditional sound of the Sarangi played by Manish Gandharva and gentle keys. This minimalistic production allows Rai’s haunting vocal delivery to take center stage, capturing the profound emptiness one feels when emotionally drained and homesick. Upon its release under Skin and Bones Records, Farkanna Hola rapidly gained viral status on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Its relatable themes struck a powerful chord with the global Nepali diaspora, turning a highly personal acoustic ballad into a widespread anthem for anyone navigating the bittersweet isolation of starting over in a distant land.

Jindagi Bekamfuse Nai Rahecha

Kaile Ka Ta Kaile Ka

Kaile Afno Mancha Sadhai

Ko Lagi Tada Bhaidine

Kaile Tada Ko Mancha Pani Sadhai

Ko Lagi Afno Bhaidine

Farkana hola aba ma

Gaye pachi utai tira

Samjanchu la dherai nai

Kahile kai samjhi dida

Jindagi bekamfuse

Kahile ka kahile ka

Chutnu cha thaha nai thyo

Manai ta honi

Janerai ki najanerai

Najek bhai diyau

Nachineko nadekheko manche ni

Aafnai jhai lagyo

Tadha tadha lancha ki?

Samaya le ka tanera

Shabda haru mai sumpanchu

Atdai atena bhawana

Bhawana

Janerai ki najanerai

Najek bhai diyau

Nachineko nadekheko manche ni

Aafnai jhai lagyo

Farkana hola aba ma

Gaye pachi utai tira

Samjanchu la dherai nai

Kahile kai samjhi dida
