Badal Sari
by Swar, John Chamling Rai
Badal Sari is a tender love song that uses nature as a beautiful metaphor for devotion and companionship. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of clouds, wind, shadows, and sunshine to express how the singer wants to be present for their beloved in every possible way. There's a gentle, poetic quality to how the song compares love to natural elements, suggesting something eternal and constant. The overall mood is romantic yet melancholic, with a sense of longing and unconditional commitment woven throughout. The repeated refrain emphasizes themes of following closely, providing shade in difficult times, and being a constant presence through life's journey. It's a song about showing up for someone, being their support system, and letting them know they won't be forgotten no matter where life takes them.
बादल सरी वरि परि पछि लाग्ने छु
बाडुल्की बनेर पछाउने छु
हावा सरी अगी पछि बेरेरै
मेरा मायाहरु ले ढाकेर
सम्झना बनि साथ दिनेछु
म छाया बनि आउला
जहाँ गए पनि मेरा याद हरु
म गडिएरै रहौला
सहारा बनेरै म उभिउला
आधिनै आए नि
तिम्रै लागि
बादल सरी वरि परि पछि लाग्ने छु
बाडुल्की बनेर पछाउने छु
जिन्दगी भरिको लागि साथ दिरहनु
घाम बनेरै उदाउनु किरन बनि रहनु
आकाश सचि मायाको निभाई रहनु है
जहाँ हुन्छु जे गरेनी नबिर्सी दिनु है
बादल सरी वरि परि पछि लाग्ने छु
बाडुल्की बनेर पछाउने छु
समय बगी देला छोपउला यी सब
हाँसेरै दिउला जीवन तिम्रै लागि
नदेखे पनि सधैं माया छ धेरै धेरै
सम्झी राख्नु है भेटुँन जेल लाई
बादल सरी वरि परि पछि लाग्ने छु
बाडुल्की बनेर पछाउने छु
हावा सरी अगी पछि बेरेरै
मेरा मायाहरु ले ढाकेर
