Swatantra Jeevan
by Robin Tamang
Swatantra Jeevan is a powerful anthem about personal freedom and self-reliance. The song captures someone who has reached a breaking point in a relationship, realizing they can't keep sacrificing their own peace for another person's happiness. There's a raw honesty here, as the narrator struggles with the weight of caring too much, only to feel unappreciated and constrained. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who's tired of playing a role defined by others, tired of seeking validation in mirrors that don't reflect their true self. What makes this song compelling is its refusal to be bitter despite the pain. Instead, it's about reclaiming independence and letting go, choosing a free life over one built on compromise and resentment. The message is clear: sometimes the bravest thing is to walk away and trust yourself to stand alone.
Hawa ko saath ma mero maan duli raancha
Thachha malai timro dukha
Risaun bhane mero maan dukhna thalcha
Hirkaun bhane ma haari jaanchu
Neta bhanera timile daura surwal launchau
Ke dekhchau timro aaina ma
Kaath ra dhunga le mero saar maachna sakchau
Tara mardaina yo jeevan yo swatantra jeevan
Timro bata ma kehi lina mandina
Samasya chaina mero jindagi ma
Chod dinchhu timilai mero aakash ko tara
Mero maan ko maya
Timilai maile kehi bhanna sakdina
Thaha chha aafno bani behora
Yekchin ko lagi timile sochyau bhane
Dekhla mero jeevan yo swatantra jeevan
Hawa ko saath ma mero maan dulna thalcha
Thacha malai timro dukha
Risaun bhane mero maan dukhna thalcha
Hirkaun bhane ma haari jaanchu
Neta bhanera timile daura surwal launchau
Ke dekhchau timro aaina ma
Kaath ra dhunga le mero saar maachna sakchau
Tara mardaina yo jeevan yo swatantra jeevan
