Ubo Ubo Khasa
by Raju Lama
Ubo Ubo Khasa is a charming folk-influenced song that captures a moment of simple, everyday observation and admiration. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone noticing a Sherpa woman at the market, struck by her beauty and grace. There's a playful, almost teasing quality to the song as the narrator grapples with whether their feelings stem from genuine affection or perhaps just shyness and nervousness. The repetition of 'banki pareki' creates an infectious, memorable hook that makes the song feel light and cheerful rather than serious or introspective.
The overall mood is one of innocent attraction and youthful bashfulness. The song celebrates the small moments of connection we experience in everyday life, whether at a market or on the street. Raju Lama's approach keeps everything grounded and relatable, focusing on the honest confusion of human emotions rather than grand romantic declarations. It's the kind of song that feels like a gentle nudge and smile, capturing that universal experience of being caught off guard by someone's presence.

ubho ubho khasa ma jada
tato pani bajar ma basethe tato pani bajar ghumdai hidda
sherpini kanchi lai dekhethe
sherpini khanchi kya ramri
banki pareki
sherpini khanchi kya ramri
banki pareki
banki pareki, banki pareki, banki pareki
banki pareki, banki pareki, banki pareki
risale ho ya laaja le ho ya
aankha malai tareki
risale ho ya laaja le ho ya
aankha malai tareki
aankha tareki, aankha tareki, aankha tareki
aankha tareki, aankha tareki, aankha tareki

due din ko bhet ghatama
kanchi sanga maya basyo
hasdai kheldai ghumdai hidda
thahai napai din haru bite
kanchi ko mayale mohani lagayo
mohani layo, mohani layo, mohani layo
mohani layo, mohani layo, mohani layo
tato pani bajarai ko
jhajhal ko le sataucha
khanchi sanga bitayeko
pal harule jhaskai dincha
kanchi ko yaad le
satayo malai
satayo malai, satyo malai, satayo malai
satayo malai, satayo malai, satayo malai
banki pareki, banki pareki, banki pareki
