The song “Kata Lagyau” (Where are you running) is a search for reasoning from the heart of an artist as to why there are chaos and wars.
Is it because we are fighting against each other?
Are we really doing something about it?
What has war given us anyway? Hear the song speak itself …

Lyrics of Kata Lagyau
कता लाग्यौ मेरा दिदी दाइ हो
जताततै आगो लाइरछ हो
कुन दिनको श्राप लागेछ हो
गरी खान गाह्रो भैरछ हो
भनिदेऊ भरलाग्दो दाइ
भनिदेऊ माया गर्ने दिदी
आपसमा लडी के पायौ
आपसमा लडी के पायौ
आपसमा लडी के पायौ
आपसमा लडी के पायौ
मान्छे भई मान्छे झै, बाँच र बाँच्न देउ
मरी लानु के नै छ र, संसार तिम्रै हो
राम्रा असल कुरा लिई, आत्मसात गरौं
एकतामा मिलेर बसौं
एकतामा मिलेर बसौं
एकतामा मिलेर बसौं
एकतामा मिलेर बसौं

Kata lagyeu mera didi dai ho
Jatatatai aago laairachha ho
Kuna dinko shrap lagechha ho
Gari khana gahro bhairachha ho
Bhanideu bharalagdo dai
Bhanideu maya garne didi
Aapasama ladi ke payau
Aapasama ladi ke payau
Aapasama ladi ke payau
Aapasama ladi ke payau
Manchhe bhai manchhe jhai, baacha ra baachna deu
Mari lanu ke nai chha ra, sansar timrai ho
Ramra asal kura liyi, aatmasat garau
Ekatama milera basau
Ekatama milera basau
Ekatama milera basau
Ekatama milera basau
Translation:
where are you running to
my sisters and brothers?
fire is burning everywhere
we are gasping
even for a livelihood
what curse befalls on us?
ask them, trustworthy brother
ask them, compassionate sister
what have they gained
fighting against one another?
what have they gained
fighting against one another?
what have they gained
fighting against one another?
with your human feelings
live and let live fellow beings
what will you take when you die?
only your world belongs to you
be good while you survive
let us live united
let us live united
let us live united
let us live united
