Aama Bhandai Runa is a deeply patriotic and emotional song that celebrates the connection between a person, their motherland, and their mother. The lyrics beautifully interweave themes of sacrifice, devotion, and national pride. The singer expresses the pain of separation from home while traveling, comparing the ache in his heart to the longing a child feels when leaving their mother. The song uses powerful imagery of planting a fluttering flag on one's chest and emphasizes that the soil of one's birthplace is more precious than life itself. There's a spiritual undertone as the artist describes the earth as dearer to the soul than even the concept of the soul. This is a song about roots, belonging, and the profound love one carries for their homeland and the sacrifices that come with defending it. The emotional depth and patriotic fervor make it a moving piece that resonates with themes of national identity and maternal love.
आमा भन्दै रुन पाऊँ बिराउँदा बाटो
मुटु दुख्दा छुन पाऊँ (एक मुठ्ठि माटो) -२
आमा भन्दै रुन पाऊँ बिराउँदा बाटो
छाती माथि रोपेको छु फरफराउने झण्डा
छाती माथि रोपेको छु फरफराउने झण्डा
मैले टेक्ने जमिन ठुलो आफ्नै प्राण भन्दा
मैले टेक्ने जमिन ठुलो आफ्नै प्राण भन्दा
शिरमाथि माटो राख्ने आमाको त्यो अर्ति
आत्मा भन्दा निकै प्यारो म जन्मेको धर्ति
आमा भन्दै रुन पाऊँ बिराउँदा बाटो
माटो सित मुटु साट्नु मेरो महान् धर्म
माटो सित मुटु साट्नु मेरो महान् धर्म
स्वदेशको सपुत भन्न नहोस् मलाई शर्म
स्वदेशको सपुत भन्न नहोस् मलाई शर्म
चन्द्र सूर्य झल्मलाउँछ सधैं मुटु भित्र
ढुक-ढुकिमा सलबलाउँछ आमा तिम्रै चित्र
आमा भन्दै रुन पाऊँ बिराउँदा बाटो
बिराउँदा बाटो
मुटु दुख्दा छुन पाऊँ एक मुट्ठि माटो
