Yesto Euta Katha
by Anju Panta, Manoj Raj
"Yesto Euta Katha Raichha" is a poignant Nepali Adhunik duet performed by Anju Panta and Manoj Raj Siwakoti. The song is featured on the album Anjuli and is characterized by its melancholic and philosophical lyrics, which were penned by Narayan Shrestha and set to music by Provon Baraili. Its central theme revolves around the unpredictable nature of love, famously described through the metaphor "Kahile gham kahile paani, aadha aadhi jindagani" (sometimes sun, sometimes rain, life is half and half), reflecting the bittersweet realities of human relationships.
The track has achieved "evergreen" status in the Nepali music industry, resonating deeply with listeners due to the emotional chemistry between Panta and Siwakoti, who were a real-life couple at the time of its popularity. Its enduring legacy is maintained through widespread digital availability on platforms like YouTube and Smule, where it remains a top choice for karaoke and cover versions. The song is often cited as a definitive example of the "sentimental" Adhunik genre that dominated the early 2000s, further solidifying Anju Panta's reputation as a "Melody Queen" of Nepal.
यस्तो एउटा कथा रैछ संसारमा माया पनि
यस्तो एउटा कथा रैछ संसारमा माया पनि
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
कति खेले फूलसंग, जुनसंग कति कति
कति खेले फूलसंग, जुनसंग कति कति
मन मुटु साटढा पनि, हुन्न माया देखे जति
रित्तो-रित्तो हुनु रैछ आखिरमा माया पनि
रित्तो-रित्तो हुनु रैछ आखिरमा माया पनि
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
सधै संगै हीडैंपनि, वारी-पारि हुनु रैछ
सधै संगै हीडैंपनि, वारी-पारि हुनु रैछ
चित्त बुझाई आफ्नो भाग्य, आँसुले नै धुनु रैछ
बगिजाने पानी जस्तै हुँदो रैछ माया पनि
बगिजाने पानी जस्तै हुँदो रैछ माया पनि
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
यस्तो एउटा कथा रैछ संसारमा माया पनि
यस्तो एउटा कथा रैछ संसारमा माया पनि
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
कहिले घाम कहिले पानी, आधा-आधि जिन्दगानी
