about

'Salala' in the Nepali language is an onomatopoeia of the sound of the river flowing.

This song speaks about leaving one's home for faraway lands because of the difficulties and uncertainties of life in the hills.

And so, it is filled with longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, and the incurable desire to return home while being unable to.

With the river Teesta being the metaphor of the only constant that keeps flowing regardless of the circumstances.

lyrics

सलल

याद आउॅंछ ती कलिला दिनहरू
जति जुनी आए नी टाडा
अहिले जस्तै लाग्छ
ती क्षणहरू
थाहा नपाई बितेछ यो पल
तल आज बगेछ टिस्टा स ल ल ..

खोसिएको यो गांस
सल्कि रहे छ यो बास
खांचो हाम्रो कस्ले बुझ्छ र?
गर्ने के यॅंहा? कस्लाई भन्ने के यॅंहा?
यस्तै नै छ पहाडको हाल
तल आज बगेछ टिस्टा

कति आए यॅंहा कति गए
यॅंहा कति परदेशी भएछ
माटोको माया
यॅंहा आज नी
सबको रग बगेछ

जांदैछु आज
म त तिमीलाई छाडेर
परिस्थिती सारो भो यॅंहा
घरको माया कस्लाई लाग्दैन र?
फर्कि आउनेछु तिम्रै अंगाल
तल आज बगेछ टिस्टा स ल ल
तल आज बगेछ टिस्टा स ल ल.
