मायालु खै क भनु लुकामारी खेल्छन् मेरा बोली सबै लजाउदै ती आँखा ले जिस्काउदा बयान म कति गरु ओइलिएलान् शब्दहरु यी ओठ ले ती ओठलाई रंगाएर भन्छु बरु मायालु तिमीलाई माया गर्छु तिमीसंगै बाची अब तिमी संगै मर्छु माया तिमीनै भन न कहाँबाट ल्याउनु अब उपमा म नयाँ-नयाँ तिमीलाई बुझाउन बयान म जति गर्छु आपग छन् लबजहरु यी आँखा ले ती आँखामा नियालेर भन्छु बरु मायालु, तिमीलाई माया गर्छु तिमीसंगै बाची अब तिमी संगै मर्छु सुस्तरी-सुस्तरी, बिलाई जाउ म पनि मेरा भोलि सरि, तिमीमै बोली त बोली न हो तर कहिलेकाहीं तेही बोलीमै भनीदेऊ मलाई मायालु तिमीलाई माया गर्छु तिमी भेट्न बाची बसे तिमी संगै मर्छु

Lukaamaari Lyrics — English Translation & Meaning
Beloved, what am I to say — my words play hide and seek, every one of them turning shy when those eyes of yours tease me How much can I possibly explain? The words would wilt before I finished Better that these lips say it by colouring those lips instead Beloved, I love you Let me live with you now, and die alongside you Love, you say it then — where am I to find them now, these new comparisons, to make you understand However much I explain, the phrases come out crippled Better that these eyes say it by looking steadily into those eyes Beloved, I love you Let me live with you now, and die alongside you Slowly, slowly, let me dissolve too — like my tomorrows, into you Words are only words, but once in a while, in those very words, say it to me Beloved, I love you I stayed alive to meet you, and I will die alongside you

About "Lukaamaari" by Sajjan Raj Vaidya
"Lukaamaari" is the Nepali name for hide and seek, and the game in this song is being played by the narrator's own words. Every time he tries to speak, his vocabulary runs off and hides — "boli sabai lajaaudai", all my speech turning shy — because the person he loves is looking at him with teasing eyes.
The song then does something clever: it proposes physical alternatives to language. If words wilt, let the lips say it by touching hers. If phrases come out crippled, let the eyes say it by looking directly into hers. Each verse tries speech, fails, and substitutes a body. That structure is the entire song, repeated with rising intimacy.
The chorus is where it stops being playful. "Timisangai baachi aba, timi sangai marchu" — let me live with you now and die alongside you — is a much larger promise than the flirtation around it prepared you for, and the contrast between the shy verses and the absolute chorus is what gives the song its charge. The bridge goes further still: let me dissolve slowly into you, the way my tomorrows do.
The final verse contains the quiet reversal. After spending the whole song arguing that words are inadequate, the narrator asks her to use them anyway: words are only words, but once in a while, say it to me in those very words. He knows language is not enough. He wants to hear it regardless.
