Pardesh Bata Choro
by Karna Das
Pardesh Bata Choro captures the bittersweet emotions of someone caught between the allure of foreign lands and the pull of home. The song explores the internal conflict of a person who has chased dreams abroad, only to find themselves questioning what they've left behind. There's a sense of regret and longing woven through the lyrics as the narrator wonders about the cost of their choices, asking whether wealth, love, or simply the intoxication of foreign life has made them forget their roots.
The recurring theme of homesickness mixed with uncertainty creates a melancholic yet reflective mood. The song speaks to anyone who has struggled with distance from their motherland and loved ones, exploring how the ties to one's birthplace can weaken over time when consumed by the pursuit of external dreams. It's a deeply relatable anthem about the sacrifices made in the name of progress, and the gnawing realization that some things, once lost, can't easily be regained.
Pardeshbata Chhoro..... Farkena
Kala Lai Roki Roki
Sabai Sanga Baaji Thoki
Aja Aaula Bhandai Bholi Aaula Bhandai
Parkhi Baseki Budhiaama
Pardeshbata Chhoro..... Farkena
Ranama Paryo Ki
Ki Bhokai Maryo Ki
Ki Dhanko Daasa Bho Ki
Maya Jalma Phansyo Ki
Yo Kasto Moha Pardeshko
Kina Ghatdaichha Maya Swadeshko
Na Matribhumi Na Matrisewa
Badhdaichha Dhuiro Prawashako
Aaunchu Aaunchu Bhanthyo
Charai Dham Ghumaunchhu Bhanthyo
Aashai Aashma Baseki Budhiaama
Pardeshbata Chhoro Farkena
Santanako Mayale
Risaunai Sakinan
Mamataki Khani Hun
Aashisha Dieen
Mardina Uni Bhanthin Chhoro Nabheti
Daudinchhu Bhanthin Lauro Nateki
Pratikshyako Miti Pugyo
Kaalale Tapakkai Chundera Lagyo
Aamako Chahana Aadhurai Rahyo
Abhaagi Chhoro
Tuhuro Bhayo
Pardeshbata Chhoro Farkena
