  • Myllung Ka Ri da i Dameshwa Rymbai

    Myllung Ka Ri

    Na Ri ki lyoh bad ki kshaid.

    Ka shnong ba la bna nam.

    U Khun phrangsngi u mih,

    Jong I Hat Tongper, I Lyngkien Tham.

    Khun shynrang marwei bad ba lai,

    Kumba la thoh shun U Blei najrong,

    H'u khatphra spah hynniew phew lai.

    U kit ryngkat ka sap ka phong.

    U nonghikai ba kat u nonghikai

    Ia ktien khasi ban kyntiew nam.

    Synniang kham kordor ia ki sbai,

    Haduh mynta ki dang kren jam!

    U khulom ksiar bad ka sia jingstad.

    Uba dang iai pruid haduh mynta.

    Kyntien kum waitlam kaba prat,

    Ki sei shibun ki riewkhraw na jylla

    Ah! Lada long da u Mahon-mala,

    Ba pynkup burom ia phi myllung

    Burom jong phi la kat u patsha,

    Uba kit ka jingstad shi khung.

    Ah! Ei ban bteng ia lyngkor jong phi,

    Ki ktien jingstad ba tei imlang sahlang

    Ban pynneh, pynjanai ia ktien khasi,

    Shaei ki samla, ki thei bad ki rang?

    Hato ngin shu kut tang ka khana,

    Shaphang U myllung ba khraw ka Ri?

    Mano ban leit wad mawlynnai mawhira

    Jinghikai kiba Myllung u hikai ia ngi.

    Ban shu kut tang ha ka jingpule,

    la ki jingthoh ba kit symboh jingstad.

    Donkam ia ngi ba ngin da sule.

    Ha man la ki khep, haba plie ka lad.
