आर्टमाण्डूको भर्खरै रिलिज भएको अर्ग्यानिक कथा 'पंचमी मेला' हेर्नको निम्ति
https://shorturl.at/qrw19

Yakthungma Kanchhi is a jolly romantic cross-cultural conversation between a Limbu girl and a Brahmin boy. The song is an experiment where folk essence of the Limbu music has been presented in a modern color, with a hint of electronic programming. This is an ArtMandu presentation.

Lyrics in Nepali
---
अरे हाओ याक्थुङ्मा कान्छी
डोको र बोकि
के खोज्छेस खोल्सीमा ?
हेरेर हेरेर
त्यो चिम्सो आँखा
परे म बल्छिमा
कान्छी परे म बल्छीमा

अरे हाओ पिनिबा कान्छा
के भन्छ भन्छ
किन पो थेत्तरो
सुगुरको चारो
खोजी पो सकेँ
काम कुरो केजक्तुरो
कान्छा काम कुरो केजक्तुरो

धान नाच्न सिकेँ
तोङ्बा नि तानेँ
खाएँ मैले किनामा
बीस चिट्ठी हालेँ
फसेन एउटै
म भएर पिनिबा
कान्छी म भएर पिनिबा

जिन्दगी मेरो
चारो र मर्चा
तेरो त पुजापाठ
थापेको बैना
खेलाँचि हैना
खोज कान्छा लामो नाक
सुनिस! खोज कान्छा लामो नाक

फर्काइदे बैना
हेर मनको ऐना
किन पो डराको
मै पिनिबा भएनी
तै याक्थुङ्मा भएनी
मान्छेलाई मन पराको
कान्छी मान्छेलाई मन पराको

मायाले होला
आकाश नै भइस
भागेर कहाँ जाउँ
एउटा घर बनोस
एउटा गुँड बनोस
गौँथली बस्ने ठाउँ
कान्छा गौँथली बस्ने ठाउँ

Lyrics in English

Hey Limbu babe! (Yakthungma kanchhi)
What are you looking to fill your doko (bamboo basket) with?
I have been bait trapped in your beautiful chinky eyes!

Hey Brahmin lad! (Piniba Kanchha)
I don’t get what you’re saying; what is all this fuss about?
Done collecting fodder for the pigs,
No more work for today!

I have learnt your ethnic dance moves (Dhaan).
Even started drinking (tongba) …
…and eating Kinima (A Limbu dish) in your love!
I carved my feelings for you in several white papers …
… but you turned them all down!
Is it only because I am not one of you?

My life is stuck in little engagements …
While yours is all about worshipping the Gods.
I have received baina (advance) to get married with a Limbu boy.
You better look for someone with a long nose as yours!

Return whatever you took in advance for marriage.
Gaze into the mirror of your own heart.
Why are you so afraid to be yourself?
Let our love transcend the petty ethnic identities.
Let our love be between the two pure souls.

Your love has melted me for good, you feel like my own sky.
Now there is no place for me to run away.
Let’s get together like Barn Swallows (Gauthali) … and build a nest to live happily ever after!
