Verse 1
Put on sari, bright red and gold,
In New York heat, I’m already sold—
High heels stuck on the subway floor,
Teej ko dance… at the grocery store!
Chorus
๐ถ “Hurry, hurry, let’s dance,
Even in the parking lot by chance,
From Costco to Dunkin’ Donuts line,
We’re keeping Teej spirit fine! ๐ถ
Verse 2
Fasting all day, no water, no tea,
Boss says, “Lunch break?” — “No, not for me!”
Zoom meeting on, but I still sway,
Someone’s auntie sings “Resham Firiri” all day.
Chorus
๐ถ “Teej in the USA,
We celebrate in our own way,
From Walmart to Times Square lights,
We dance all through the night!” ๐ถ
Bridge
Uber driver asks, “What’s with the dress?”
We say, “It’s a festival—no stress!”
He nods and says, “Man, that’s neat,”
While aunties serve sel roti on the street.
Outro
So whether in Nepal or LA town,
We keep the Teej beats going round,
America may not know our song,
But our Teej hearts stay strong!
