Gajale Sunchari
by Sujan Chapagain
"Gajale Sunchari" is a soulful, contemporary Nepali travel folk-pop song written, composed, and sung by the acclaimed artist Sujan Chapagain alongside production powerhouse ArtMandu. Officially launched on May 24, 2026, the single was premiered live during his international musical showcase in Nagoya, Japan, marking his highly anticipated return after a year-long release hiatus. The track is heavily praised for its intricate, multi-layered acoustic and traditional composition. Under the audio direction of music producer Kobid Bazra, it masterfully blends classical instrumentations—including the rhythmic percussion of tabla by Jagannath Dhaugoda, the haunting strings of sarangi by Prince Nepali, and a rolling flute arrangement by Ratna BK—to evoke a deep sense of wanderlust.
The song translates to "The Kohl-Eyed Golden Bird" and stands as a heartfelt anthem dedicated to free-spirited wanderers and the transformative beauty of self-reflection along a journey. Written by the highly renowned lyricist Hark Saud, the poetic narrative captures a profound appreciation for freedom, discovery, and human connection across ever-changing landscapes. In a deeply personal tribute, Chapagain rooted the track's thematic essence in his childhood memories of Chitwan, his native birthplace. This geographical sentiment translates directly into the cinematic music video directed by Abhishek Subedi, which stars actors Sampada Ghimire and Samishan GC. Their on-screen relationship weaves together the warmth of two unknown travelers bonding amidst the breathtaking, lush terrain of Chitwan's riverbanks and natural landmarks, cementing the track as a visual and audio masterpiece
Sansar hamro hera na ramro
Sansar hamro hera na ramro
Susheli dine hawa ko lahara
Khushi chu ma dherai
Yo pal ho merai
Khushi chu ma dherai
Yo pal ho merai
Udai lane manai ko rahara
Paila sardai sangai agadi
Jam bho katai timi ra ma
Bholi bhannu ta aaucha audaina
Bacham aja yi pal haru ma
Gajale sunchari ghumi heram sansari
Gajale sunchari ghumi heram sansari
Gajale sunchari hawa sangai sarsari
Gajale sunchari chalos adhi bheri
Gajale sunchari jiwan ghari ghari
Gajale sunchari ghumi heram sansari
Susta susta ali ali
Susta susta ali ali
Susta susta ali ali
Yo baisa le aljhaudaicha
Kaha kaha kata kata
Kata kata
Kaha kaha kata kata
Nyano man ma baljhyaudaicha
Nyano man ma baljhyaudaicha
Gajale sunchari hawa sangai sarsari
Gajale sunchari chalos adhi bheri
Gajale sunchari ghumi heram sansari
