Mayalu Timi Tadha Bhaedinale
by Bhuwan Kc
"Mayalu Timi Tadha" holds a historic place in Nepali pop culture as Nepal's first official music video. Sung by actor and singer Bhuwan K.C., with lyrics by Bijay Uday and music composed by Shambhujeet Baskota, the song was produced and broadcast shortly after Nepal Television was established in 1985 AD (2042 B.S.). Shot on basic video cameras directed by Baskota himself, the video captured a foundational moment in the country's television history and set the stage for modern musical broadcasts in Nepal.
Musically, the song is a bittersweet, melancholic ballad exploring themes of separation, unrequited devotion, and emotional longing. Its soft melody, backed by simple acoustic arrangements, paired with Bhuwan K.C.'s expressive vocals, resonated deeply with listeners of the era. Decades after its initial broadcast, the track remains a beloved vintage classic, fondly remembered for introducing the visual era of Nepali music.
मायालु तिमी टाढा भैदिनाले
छातीमा पिर बोकी हासेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
धेरै अर्थ लाग्यो तिम्रो क्रियाकलापमा
तिमी जित म हार भए यो जिवनमा
तिमी जित म हार भए यो जिवनमा
chorus:सहदै जाऊ दाजु हर घडीमा
मायालु तिमी टाढा भैदिनाले
छातीमा पिर बोकी हासेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
सुभकामना छ तिम्रा बिहानिहरुलाइ
सम्झना राख मेरा ती कोशेलीहरुलाइ
सम्झना राख मेरा ती कोशेलीहरुलाइ
chorus:हेर्दै जाऊ दाजु आउने दिनहरूलाई
मायालु तिमी टाढा भैदिनाले
छातीमा पिर बोकी हासेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
मनका कुराहरु पोखेर के गरु
