Ramdi Pula
by Narayan Rayamajhi, Sharmila Gurung
"Ramdi Pula" (also known as "Ramdi Pul Tarnebittikai") is an iconic, deeply sentimental Nepali folk song composed and produced by legendary artist Narayan Rayamajhi. In its highly celebrated duet version, Sharmila Gurung pairs with Rayamajhi to deliver a powerful vocal performance that captures the essence of Nepalese Lok Dohori music. Structurally, the track is unique for its extensive length, running over 13 minutes long. The song was officially packaged and distributed globally by Reema Entertainment as a headlining extended play single.
Lyrically, the song centers around themes of bittersweet separation, emotional longing, and geographic departure, using the imagery of crossing the Ramdi Bridge—a famous crossing over the Kali Gandaki River connecting Palpa and Syangja. The line "Ramdi Pul Tarnebittikai" translates to "as soon as one crosses the Ramdi Bridge," setting up a narrative of leaving one's beloved or homeland behind.
