Teesta Lyrics
Geet bani ayeu timi hamro yo jeewana ma
Preet bani basyeu timi hamro yo dilhai ma
Hariyali ban jungel ma
Khushiyali sabai gaonwai ma
Timi asha ko kiran basi chayeu mero sansar ma
Geet bani ayeu timi hamro yo jeewana ma
Preet bani basyeu timi hamro yo dilhai ma
Hariyali ban jungel ma
Khushiyali sabai gaonwai ma
Timi asha ko kiran basi chayeu mero sansar ma
Geet bani ayeu timi hamro yo jeewana ma
Preet bani basyeu timi hamro yo dilhai ma
Hariyali ban jungel ma
Khushiyali sabai gaonwai ma
Timi asha ko kiran basi chayeu mero sansar ma
Geet bani ayeu timi hamro yo jeewana ma
Preet bani basyeu timi hamro yo dilhai ma
Hariyali ban jungel ma
Khushiyali sabai gaonwai ma
Timi asha ko kiran basi chayeu mero sansar ma
[Music]
Himala ko kokha bata khola ra naala bani
Amrit ko dhara bani umarey chau..Hai
Daanda ra kaada kati ghama ra chaaya tari
Teesta khola nai baney chau … Hai
Pahada ko anga bata kheyli ra kudi timi
Hamro yo aangana ma jharey chau .. Hai
Yuga yuga nai deykhin hamro jeewani ko timi
Saahara bani basey chau …. Hai
Baagey cha teesta
Baagey cha jeewan yo… Hai
Madal Ghana kau dai sarangi dana kau dai
Nachau hai teesta khola baagara .. Hai
Jahan gaye pani malai farkana mann lagcha
Tyo baato timrai baagara
Hey…..
Ohoo….
Baagey cha teesta
Baagey cha jeewan yo
Madal Ghana kau dai sarangi dana kau dai
Nachau hai teesta khola baagara .. Hai
Jahan gaye pani malai farkana mann lagcha
Tyo baato timrai baagara
Tyo baato timrai baagara
Tyo baato timrai baagara
Hridaya ma mero baagey chau
Teesta Lyrics in Nepali
गीत बनि आयौ तिमी हाम्रो यो जीवनमा
प्रीत बनि बस्यौ तिमी हाम्रो यो दिलैमा
हरियाली वन जङ्गलमा
खुसियाली सबै गावैमा
तिमी आशको किरण बसी छायौ मेरो संसारमा
गीत बनि आयौ तिमी हाम्रो यो जीवनमा
प्रीत बनि बस्यौ तिमी हाम्रो यो दिलैमा
हरियाली वन जङ्गलमा
खुसियाली सबै गावैमा
तिमी आशको किरण बसी छायौ मेरो संसारमा
गीत बनि आयौ तिमी हाम्रो यो जीवनमा
प्रीत बनि बस्यौ तिमी हाम्रो यो दिलैमा
हरियाली वन जङ्गलमा
खुसियाली सबै गावैमा
तिमी आशको किरण बसी छायौ मेरो संसारमा
गीत बनि आयौ तिमी हाम्रो यो जीवनमा
प्रीत बनि बस्यौ तिमी हाम्रो यो दिलैमा
हरियाली वन जङ्गलमा
खुसियाली सबै गावैमा
तिमी आशको किरण बसी छायौ मेरो संसारमा
पहाडको कोखबाट खोला र नाला बनि
अमृतको धारा बनि उमरेछौ… है
युग युग नै देखि हाम्रो जीवनीको तिमी
साहारा बनि बसेछौ… है
बगेछ टिस्टा
बगेछ जिवन यो… है
बगेछ टिस्टा
बगेछ जिवन यो… है
मादल घन्काउदै सारंगी दन्काउदै
नाचौ है टिस्टा खोला बगर… है
जाहा गए पनि मलाई फर्कन मन लाग्छ
त्यो बाटो तिम्रै बगर… है
बगेछ टिस्टा
बगेछ जिवन यो
मादल घन्काउदै सारंगी दन्काउदै
नाचौ है टिस्टा खोला बगर… है
जाहा गए पनि मलाई फर्कन मन लाग्छ
त्यो बाटो तिम्रै बगर
त्यो बाटो तिम्रै बगर
त्यो बाटो तिम्रै बगर
हृदयमा मेरो बगेछौ
Bipul Chettri – For most of who have grown up on the hills that flank the river Teesta, she has been more than a collection of whirlpools and rapids. When friends and family who gathered to bid us farewell became tiny specks in the rear view mirror, the Teesta moved alongside all the way down to the plains. And when we returned, months or years later, she would be the first to welcome us home – gurgling, jumping and skipping like a young sibling who had missed us more than we missed her.
Sadly, unable to withstand the onslaught of progress of the recent years, the grand old lady isn’t what she used to be. More than half a dozen hydroelectric dams have reduced what was once a swift flowing Himalayan river into mere intervals of lifeless water bodies.
This song has been written in praise of the beauty she once was. Which our children may never ever see again.
