Meaning of ‘Resham Firiri’ Song Lyrics

Resham Firiri Resham Firiri

Resham: The English word for Resham is “Silk.”

Firiri: The English word for Firiri doesn’t exist but imagine a piece of cloth moving in the air as a wavy form is what “Firiri” is called. 
 

Udera Jau Ki Dhada Ma Bhanjyang

• Udera: Flying

• Jau: Go

• Ki: Or

• Dhada: Hill

• Ma: In

• Bhanjyang: Mountain pass or flat land on a hilltop

They are excited and in love. They don’t want to stay still; they dream of flying to the hilltop. They’re imagining, “Should I fly to the top of the hill?” It’s like they believe anything is possible when you're in love!

Kukur Lai Kuti Ma Kuti, Biralo Lai Suri

Timro Hamro Maya Priti Dobato Ma Kuri

• Kukur: Dog

• Lai: For

• Kuti Ma Kuti: A playful call for a dog (there's no exact English word for "Kuti").

• Biralo: Cat

• Suri: The call for a cat; in Nepal, you can attract a cat by saying "Suri La, La."

• Timro: Your

• Hamro: Our

• Maya Priti: Love

• Dobato: Junction of two roads

• Kuri: Wait

Now, it’s easy to understand the lines. "Kukur lai kuti ma kuti Biralo Lai Suri" means calling a dog "Kuti Kuti," and for a cat, it’s "Suri."

"Timro hamro maya priti dobato ma kuri" means our love happened while waiting at the intersection of two roads. The boy or girl who arrives first will wait there for their partner to show up.
 

Eak nale banduk dui nale banduk, mirga lai takaeko
Mirga lai maile takaeko hoina, maya lai dakaeko

• Eak: One

• Nale: Barrel

• Dui: Two

• Banduk: Gun

• Mirga: Deer

• Takaeko: Pointed

• Maile: Me

• Hoina: Not

• Maya: Love

• Dakaeko: Call

The words “Takaeko” and “Dakaeko” sound similar. The first line talks about a single-barrel and double-barrel gun aimed at a deer. The second line says that the gun isn't aimed at the deer; instead, they are calling their love. Love is a big theme in the song. It’s like they’re firing a gun and shouting, “Honey, where are you? Come here!”

Some words are only included in the stanza for rhythm.

Aakash ma jhahaj shadak ma motor nabahye gada cha
Yo man jasto tyo man bhayae tagat ghada cha

• Aakash: Sky

• Ma: In/On

• Jhahaj: Airplane

• Shadak: Road

• Motor: Vehicles

• Nabhaye: Don’t have

• Gada: Cart

• Cha: Have

• Yo: This

• Man: Heart

• Jasto: Like

• Tyo: That

• Tagat: Strength

• Ghada: Strong

In this part, "Gada" and "Ghada" sound similar. In the first line, it says if there are no airplanes in the sky and no vehicles on the road, then there is a cart. The second line means that if our hearts are alike, then our feelings will be stronger. You can think of it as love: if our feelings are the same, then our love will be deeper and sweeter.
 

Sano ma sano gai ko baccho, bhirai ma ram ram
Chodera jana sakina maile, baru maya sagai jau

• Sano: Small

• Gai: Cow

• Ko: ’s

• Baccho: Calf

• Bhirai: In slope

• Ram ram: A phrase said when someone is in trouble

• Chodera: By leaving

• Jana: Go

• Sakina: Cannot

• Maile: Me

• Baru: Instead

• Maya: Love

• Sagai: Together

• Jau: Go

In the first line, they feel sorry for a small calf on a dangerous slope. "Ram" is the name of a Hindu god, and people often call out to a god in trouble.

In the second line, it talks about not wanting to leave each other. The speaker can’t go alone, so they should go together. You can see a connection between the two lines. The calf is in danger, and in the second line, they express a deep love, saying they would rather face anything, even death, together than leave each other alone. It shows a promise to stick together in any situation.
