Tiriri Murali Bajyo Banaima
by Prabesh Man Shakya
"Tiriri Murali Bajyo Banaima" is an immortal masterpiece of Nepali folk music, originally made famous by the legendary singer and musician Panna Kaji Shakya. Collected from western Nepal in the mid-1950s, the song became a massive hit on Radio Nepal due to its infectious, cheerful melody and its lyrical portrayal of a flute's enchanting sound echoing through the forest. Decades later, Panna Kaji’s second son, Prabesh Man Shakya, recorded a highly popular modern rendition of the track. His version successfully revitalized the ageless melody for contemporary audiences, making it the most easily accessible and widely recognized digital version of the song online today.
Prabesh Man Shakya's rendition blends traditional Nepali folk elements with polished studio production, keeping the authentic "Lok Laya" (folk rhythm) intact while appealing to younger generations. His performance is heavily celebrated across social media and video platforms like TikTok and Facebook as a crucial cultural showcase of Kathmandu's musical heritage. The track has been preserved across major global streaming networks, featured prominently on his compilation album Best Of Prabesh Man Shakya on Spotify and JioSaavn, ensuring that his father's musical legacy continues to thrive internationally.
Tiriri murali bajyo banaima
Banaima lau maya namarei
Hai banaima lau maya namare
Kasko yo samjhana mero
Kasko yo samjhana mero manaima
Manaima lau maya namare
Hai manaima lau maya namare
Adheri khola guheli paakyo
Juneli ramayo
Yo maan ma kasto pirati chaayo
Birahha jagayo
Siriri batasai chalyo banaima
Banaima lau maya namare
Hai banaima lau maya namare
Murali dhuna bhuleko chaina
Banama bajeko ho
Hajur ko maya bhuleko chaina
Dilama baseko
Chirbiri chari le gayo banaima
Banaima lau maya namare
Hai banaima lau maya namare
Sailunge lekama gurasai phulyo
Banchari ramayo
Yo maan ma kasto birahha chayo
Pirati basayo
Jhalamala fhulai fhulyo banaima
Banaima lau maya namare
Hai Banaima lau maya namare
Kasko yo samjhana mero
Kasko yo samjhana mero manaima
Manaima lau maya namare
Hai manaima lau maya namare
