Lekali Choyako Doko
by Ram Thapa
Lekali Choyako Doko is a deeply emotional folk song that explores the pain of unrequited or unfulfilled love. The lyrics paint a picture of longing and heartache, with the singer expressing how love feels like an impossible burden to carry. The repeated refrain about how words and promises don't hold true reflects the bittersweet reality of relationships where one person's devotion goes unmatched. Through vivid imagery of rivers swelling and the heart becoming a vessel for love, the song conveys a sense of being overwhelmed by emotion. The melody and delivery suggest a contemplative, melancholic mood that's characteristic of traditional Nepali folk music. It's the kind of song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the ache of loving someone more than they can love you back, making it a poignant reflection on human vulnerability and the complexities of the heart.
Lekali hey hey choya ko doko
sano maya hey hey lagaune dhoko
napugdai ma marchu po kyare
bhana solti barabar nadhati
bhana solti barabar nadhati
bahayo khola besi gharyo sammai
timro maya kaleji ma tammai
bahayo khola besi gharyo sammai
timro maya kaleji ma tammai
aakhai ma gajalu lapakkai
bhana maya laediun ki chapakkai
baisaima baisaima marchu po kyare
bhana solti barabar nadhati
bhana solti barabar nadhati
rato kalo pakhurima timikkai
basyo maya aakhaima ghimikkai
rato kalo pakhurima timikkai
basyo maya aakhaima ghimikkai
ke godnu karkala bari
parkha timilai roerahane napari
