Kukuralai kuti ma kuti, biraalo lai suri
Timro haamro maya priti, dobato ma kuri

Kukur – Dog
Lai – For
Kuti ma Kuti – We use "Kuti Kuti" to get the dog's attention, like a friendly gesture, instead of using its name.
Biralo – Cat
Suri – It's like summoning a dog with the phrase "Kuti, Kuti." Similarly, we can use "Suri" to affectionately call a cat and get its attention.

Timro – Your
Hamro – Our
Maya Priti – Love
Dobato – Meeting of two roads
ma – in
Kuri – waiting

The meaning of  this verse:

"Kukuralai kutima kuti, biraalo lai suri" suggests that we use the term "Kuti Kuti" to call the dog in a friendly way to get its attention, without using its name, and similarly, we use "Suri" to affectionately call the cat.

"Timro haamro maya priti, dobato ma kuri" signifies "Your and our love, like two roads meeting at a crossroads, waits."

Overall, it portrays a picture of love and affection, using metaphors involving dogs, cats, and the meeting of roads to convey a deeper emotional connection. 

Ek naale banduk, dui naale banduk, mirga lai take ko
Mirga lai maile taake ko hoina maya lai daake ko

Ek – Single

Mirga – Deer
Lai – to
Takeko – aiming at

Mirga – Deer
Lai – to
Maile – Me
Taakeko – aiming at
Hoina – not
Maya – love
Daakeko – call/invite

In this verse, there seems to be a play on words for rhythmic purposes. The first line mentions using both a single-barrel and a double-barrel gun, seemingly aimed at a deer. However, in the second line, it's suggested that the guns aren't pointed at the deer after all; instead, they're calling out for love. Love is a recurring theme in the song, and this verse might convey the idea of firing a gun and shouting out to a loved one, evoking feelings of longing and connection.

Gaada – cart
Chha – is

Yo – This
Mana – Heart
Jasto – like
Tyo – that
Bhaye – happened
Taagatai – power
Gaadha – very strong
Chha – is

In this verse, it's noted that when transportation like airplanes and motor vehicles is absent,there still will be carts to travel. This reflects adaptability. The verse also emphasizes that one person's heart, like another's, can be remarkably strong, highlighting the power of emotions and inner strength.

Sano ma sano gaaiko bachho virai maa, Ram Ram
Chhodera jaana sakina maile, baru maya sangai jaam

In this verse,"Sano ma sano gaaiko bachho virai maa, Ram Ram" describes a small calf in the slope of a hill, and "Ram Ram" is an expression used when someone is in trouble or distress.

"Chhodera jaana sakina maile, baru maya sangai jaam" conveys the message that despite not being able to leave or abandon, the speaker chooses to stay and go forward with love. It signifies a commitment to staying together despite challenges or difficulties.

This verse suggests a sense of determination to overcome obstacles in the name of love and loyalty.
