  • “Peit Cheitai Cheitu” da Saweini Laloo

    Dang step dang step, chong u woh Ephrin

    Ha ka ben kawa rong soo

    Ka kot khubor ha kti beit, hajan

    Peit u cheitu, peit u cheitai

    Man da dep pure u

    Te chong u chi slem

    Peit u ia ki bru

    Wa lai cheitai cheitu

    Oh Papun o! Oh Papun o!

    Khana ia nga yi ioo phi cheitai?

    Ki jingmut u ioosar cha jngai

    Ham kylli jingkylli ware o ksu

    Peit cheitai, peit cheitu

    Wa lai ki kari wa ki bru

    Dang step, dang step, chong u woh wa ka ksu u

    Ha ka ben kawa rong blue

    Ka kot khubor ha kti ïong o

    Peit ki waroh arngut cheitai, cheitu.

    Original Pnar poem: "Peit Cheitai Cheitu" by @nini_sasa_23 😄😄 Thank you for the poem!

    This is a quaint and evocative poem about her "Papun" (grandfather) reading his newspaper in the veranda and then spending hours observing and ruminating on passersby and cars. 🌻🌻💞💞

  • “Jar I hok – Jngai nei thok – Kamai ia ka hok” da Daohi Manar

    Phet jngai na ka bamsap, phet jngai na ka bamsap

    Ileh Cha kamni, sa du i wöm ioo tipsap-tiptap?

    Jar jar lei hok, u ia k'bai-kyrha

    Ileh Cha kamni, dap da ki jingeh suda?

    Kylli oa pûn na nga

    Wa angnood iei jingkylla…

    Chirup u ieiñ tylli, Myllin noh i sniawpher u wi ia ka wi

    U rah iei roi i par, thrang i hei jingim

    Ka wait iong i tip i stad, kani toh u chim

    Ham sniaw salajong, Toa iyn-ia pûnku pûnkynrong

    Khlem niaw, Wei khlem da thaw

    U wa lieh, wa stem, wa soo ne wa u iong

    "Jar I Hok, Jngai nei Thok, Kamai ia ka Hok" is an original Pnar poem by @xdtnoahjupejackllthmanar

    The poem speaks of bringing about a change in society, through truth, unity and a thirst for knowledge. A change that is for the greater good of all. A change that creates an awareness of not only our rights but also our duties as a community and as citizens of the state and country.
