Yo Kura Gopya
by Pramod Kharel
"Yo Kura Gopya" (यो कुरा गोप्य) is a massive hit Nepalese pop-folk song performed by the highly versatile playback singer Pramod Kharel. Released in February 2019, the song features a catchy rhythmic arrangement composed by Ashish Aviral and playful, romantic lyrics penned by Ek Narayan Bhandari. The title translates to "Keep This Secret," which serves as the central theme of the track as a lover playfully asks his partner to keep their budding romance hidden from the village. Known for its infectious hook lines and upbeat traditional tempo, the track quickly became a major commercial success, earning Pramod Kharel the prestigious Best Male Vocal performance at the Music Khabar Music Awards.
The song's massive popularity was heavily fueled by its official music video directed by Dikshya Creation, which stars popular actors Najir Husen and Alisha Rai. The cinematic video portrays a vibrant, comedic rural love story that resonated deeply with audiences, eventually garnering over 91 million views on YouTube and establishing itself as a viral sensation across TikTok and social media platforms. Its cultural impact is so widespread that it has been performed as a standard audition piece on premier reality talent shows like The Voice of Nepal and The Voice Kids, where Kharel himself serves as a celebrity coach.
ओइ झ्यालबाट हेर त्यै बाटो आउछु
देखिनौ भने मै सिट्ठी लाउछु
ओइ झ्यालबाट हेर त्यै बाटो आउछु
देखिनौ भने मै सिट्ठी लाउछु
इसारै गरेर डाकौँला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
मायाको बारि सुन्तला घारी
झटारो हानी सुटुक्कै झारी
ओइ मायाको बारि सुन्तला घारी
झटारो हानी सुटुक्कै झारी
कस्तो छ दुबैले चाखौँला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
मायालुले लाइदेउन एउटा गुन
मायालुलाई लाइदिउला कानमा सुन
एैचोपैचो गर्न नि पाइन्न र
तिमिलाई नि पिरती चाहिन्न र
दस औंला जोडि लाख बिन्ती गर्छु
तिम्ले हस भने बैकुण्ठै तर्छु
हम दस औंला जोडि लाख बिन्ती गर्छु
तिम्ले हस भने बैकुण्ठै तर्छु
फुल राखी देउराली भाकौला
हो यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
केही हुन्न नजिकै सरन
भए हुन्छ बिचार त गरन
आँखा जुधाउ पर्दैन झुकाउन
फुलले बास्ना सक्दैन लुकाउन
मौरीलाई घार चरीलाई गुण
मनैकी चरी मनैमा उड
ओइ मौरीलाई घार चरीलाई गुण
मनैकी चरी मनैमा उड
साचैँमा मुटुले ढाकौँला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
ओइ यो कुरा गोप्य नै राखम्ला
