Basa Sundari
by BroSis Band
"Basa Sundari" is a catchy and cheerful staple of the late 2000s Nepali pop-rock scene, showcasing a delightful blend of contemporary rhythms and traditional folk sensibilities. Performed by Deepu Gurung alongside the Bro-Sis Band, the track was originally released in 2010 as part of their self-titled debut album Bro-Sis under the Music Nepal label. Musically, it is driven by an infectious, upbeat tempo, featuring prominent acoustic guitar strums and a distinctly playful woodwind synth melody that establishes its signature groove right from the introductory notes.
Lyrically, the song weaves a heartwarming and romantic narrative centered around a cozy winter setting, kicking off with the memorable line, "Basa Sundari, thandi mahina jado chha..." (Sit down, beautiful, it's a cold winter month...). It perfectly captures a lighthearted, old-school pop vibe that emphasizes companionship and warmth. While it began its journey on physical cassettes and CDs, the song achieved an enduring digital legacy decades later.
बस सुन्दरी ठन्डी महिना जाडो छ
हे रातो नि गाला चाउरी परेछ
बस सुन्दरी ठन्डी महिना जाडो छ
हे रातो नि गाला चाउरी परेछ
हो सोल्टिनीको त्यो रातो गालैमा हो हो
लान्छु तिमीलाई यो आउने सालैमा
हातै मा सुनैको चुरा
अनी औठि लगाइदिउला
मखमली चोली अनि शिरबन्दि
शिरमा सजाइदिउला
हेर सुन्दरी लगन तिम्रो आको छ
ल है त्यो मन पक्कै आतिए जस्तो छ
बस सुन्दरी ठन्डी महिना जाडो छ
हे रातो नि गाला चाउरी परेछ
हो कती बस्छौ त्यो माइती गावैमा
जाने भए ल्यान्छु जान्ती दैलाईमै
डोलिमा चढाइ पछौरिको
घुम्टो ओढाइदिउन्ल
नौमती बाजा बजाइ डाडा
पाखा बेसी घन्काइदिउला
हेर सुन्दरी यो मन मेरो साचो छ
तर यो ज्यानलाई तिम्रै खाचो छ
बस सुन्दरी ठन्डी महिना जाडो छ
हे रातो नि गाला चाउरी परेछ
हेर सुन्दरी लगन तिम्रो आको छ
ल है त्यो मन पक्कै आतिए जस्तो छ
रातो नि गाला चाउरी परेछ
ल है त्यो मन पक्कै आतिए जस्तो छ
तर यो ज्यान लाई तिम्रै खाचो छ
