“Je Chhau Timi” is a secret love letter in Nepali verse. The voices of Samir Shrestha and Swoopna Suman blend like silk over Saswot Shrestha’s gently strummed acoustic guitars, painting a portrait of love that celebrates authenticity and acceptance. The lyrics retain their tenderness and refreshing rejection of artifice in translation.
Imagine a love that transcends appearance and society. Swoopna Suman’s lyrics, “Remove your eye makeup; I want to see the color of your eyes” and “Don’t hide your face with makeup; even the moon has scars,” express a love that values raw beauty. Love sees firefly-like magic in your eyes and a universe in your smile, regardless of your flaws.
But “Je Chhau Timi” goes beyond skin-deep beauty. It shows the strength of a deep connection. “You are the one I need, no matter who you are or what you do,” and “Forget the world! You hold my whole universe!” expresses a love that embraces the other in all their glory.

Gajal Tyo Timro Metaideuna,
Remove your eye makeup (kajal).

I’m curious what color your eyes are.

Free those knotted hairs of yours.

Don’t use makeup to cover up your face.
Nadhakana Muhar Shringar Le
Don’t conceal your face with makeup.

The moon has scars too.

Whoever gets to see your grin is fortunate.
