Sangini

“Sangini" is an old folk song sung by Nepali women in expression of their innermost emotions. My mother recalls my grandmother singing and dancing to this song. We are singing this song today to honour her memory and would like to dedicate this song to all Nepali women on the occasion of International Women’s Day. - Aama Chhori

पुस्तौदेखि नेपाली महिलाहरुले गाउदै आएको यो लोकगीत "संगिनी" मेरो अजीले पनि गाउनु हुन्थ्यो रे र आज म आमासित गाउदै छु र सोच्दै छु नेपाली महिलाहरुको व्यथा र वेदनाहरु आज पनि त्यस्तै छैन र? अन्तरास्ट्रिय महिला दिवसको अवसरमा आधा आकाश र धर्ति ढाक्ने महिलाहरुलाई समर्पित गर्दै .. आमा र छोरी

Bhailo

Nepal has many vibrant and colourful festivals and Tihar is one of them. Bhailo is a traditional song - sung by various generations of Nepalese women during the night of Laxmi Puja. My grandmother passed "Bhailo" down to my mother, and now it's been passed down to me :). Happy Tihar from both my mother and I.

Lyrics:
Bhailini ayin agana,
barali kudali raakhana
A aunsiko din gai tihar ho bhailo
Hario Gobar le lipeko,
laxmi puja gareko
A aunsiko din gai tihar ho bhailo
Hami tesai ayenau,
bali raja le pathako
A aunsiko din gai tihar ho bhailo
Jasle dinchha mano,
Usko sunko chaano
A aunsiko din gai tihar ho bhailo
Bhailini ayin agana,
Gunyo cholo maagana
A aunsiko bara
gai tihar ho bhailo
