Jahan Bagcha Teesta Rangeet
English: Where Teesta and Rangeet Flow
 

de facto State song of Sikkim
LyricsSanu Lama, 1970
MusicDushyant Lama, 1970

Jahan Bagcha Teesta Rangeet (Where Teesta and Rangeet Flow) is the traditional anthem of Sikkim, India.

History edit

The Kingdom of Sikkim became a British protectorate in 1860 and following Indian independence in 1947, became a protectorate of India in 1950. During this period, Sikkim was an absolute monarchy ruled by a monarch known as the Chogyal. During this period, the national anthem of Sikkim was Denjong Silé Yang Chagpa Chilo (Why is Sikkim Blooming So Fresh and Beautiful?).[1][2]

Jahan Bagcha Teesta Rangeet was released 4 April 1970 to mark the birthday of the then Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Following a referendum in 1975, Sikkim became a state of India and the monarchy was abolished. The song was initially prohibited by the Indian authorities as it contained a reference to the Sikkemese monarchy. It was later reinstated with slightly altered lyrics which replaced the words "king and queen" with "motherland".[3][4] Nowadays, the song is used as the de facto state song for Sikkim, played at state government functions.[5][6][7][8]

Romanization English translation

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,

YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,
TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM
 
PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,
CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI
SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO
HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAH BHUMI

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,
JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER
 
BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,
TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI SHRADHA ,
BHAKTI GARCHAU SADHA,
YEHI MATOKAA PHOOL RAHAU HAMI.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,
JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER
 
BUDHAM SARANAM GACHAMI,
DHARMAM SARANAM GACHAMI,
SANGAM SARANAM GACHAMI.

Where Teesta and Rangeet flow ahead
Where Kanchenjunga is placed as the head
This is our country of rice,
The pious Sikkim is our land so nice

Here the beautiful flowers blooming
at our courtyard look so genuine
It’s almost like a celestial abode
by dint of our motherland.

Where Teesta and Rangeet flow ahead
Where Kanchenjunga is placed as the head

The air carries here immortal preaching words of Buddha,
who did the ultimate toil,
We adore and worship it always as we pine
to remain as the flowers of this soil

Where Teesta and Rangeet flow ahead
Where Kanchenjunga is placed as the head

I will take retreat to Buddha
I will take retreat to Dhamma
I will take retreat to Sangha

Lyrics edit

Hindi (Devanagari) Romanization English translation

उत्तर प्रदेश समेटता खुद को इतिहास के पन्नों में
पिढ़ियों की संस्कार संस्कृति से
अपना एक अस्तित्व दिखाया
उत्तर प्रदेश ने भारत को और भी महान बनाया।

हिम पर्वत उत्तर में हिमाचल के
रेतीले पहाड़ सजे दक्षिण में
लिए पश्चिम में राजधानी भारत की
घने जंगलों में मिले पुष्प पशु पूरब में।

पवित्र त्रिवेणी में संगम गंगा जमुना का
स्वर गूंजते लोक गीतों के त्योहारों में
शीत लहर और ताप का अनोखा संगम
उत्तर प्रदेश संजोए विविधता हर पार्श्व में।

लखनऊ जिसकी राजधानी
प्रयागराज न्याय का स्थान है
योग व कर्मयोग से बना
हर क्षण उन्नत यू-पी को प्रणाम है।।

uttar pradesh sametata khud ko itihaas ke pannon mein
pidhiyon kee sanskaar sanskrti
se apana ek astitv dikhaaya
uttar pradesh ne bhaarat ko aur bhee mahaan banaaya

him parvat uttar mein himaachal ke
reteele pahaad saje dakshin mein
lie pashchim mein raajadhaanee bhaarat kee
ghane jangalon mein mile pushp pashu poorab mein

pavitr trivenee mein sangam ganga jamuna ka
svar goonjate lok geeton ke tyohaaron mein
sheet lahar aur taap ka anokha sangam
uttar pradesh sanjoe vividhata har paarshv mein

lakhanoo jisakee raajadhaanee
prayaagaraaj nyaay ka sthaan hai
yog va karmayog se bana
har kshan unnat uttar pradesh ko pranaam hai

Uttar Pradesh covers itself in the pages of history
from the culture of generations
showed one's existence
Uttar Pradesh made India even greater.

Snow Mountains in the north of Himachal
Sandy mountains in the south
For the capital of India in the west
Flowers and animals found in the dense forests in the East.

The confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna at the Holy Triveni
In the festival of resonating folk songs
A unique combination of cold and heat
Uttar Pradesh cherish diversity in every aspect.

Lucknow whose capital
Prayagraj is the place of justice
made of yoga and karma yoga
Every moment is a salute to the advanced Uttar Pradesh.
