Maikhansigi marumsida

/ /

Maikhansigi marumda lumli,
     eihak punsigi marek mahao louri
Maikhan asina leiramdrabadi wajei
     naronda kari tougani kijei |

Wanglaba sambal, tharaba fucklang
Leiramdrabadi maikhan asi
Eidi norok taramba tare
Eidi ekai meichak, meihouramba tare |

Laori, khongli, oinajari, pennajari
channari, nungainari, tounari, chatnari,
hatnari-soonari, noksinnari, kapsinnari, ngangnari
Amangba marakta poot-thanari
Paath-thi komthi lakta iraknari
Hing-gai namba marakta namm-nari
Hingnabagidamak, chatnabini-hounabini
Makhoigi maikhan marumda |

Maikhansigi marumsida mangli manglan
Punsigi panthungfam ||

Hourasira yahou houjikpu, sendrang makhon yen makhon

Gari mataduga Bamon Leikai gi thong-gi khungamduga

Ta'Enao workshop tagi second hand da leijaba eigi scooterna
Moan ani-animuk loomlaba akhoinibu poo-thang-ngamdrabada

Kallapna mahakna amuk Tomba romda onsinduna samtharak-khi:

Nahak keidoubagi gari da amuk tongkhatlibano?"

Akhoini amuk thouwi scooter, waa amata ngangnada

Wakatpa haiba waheisida amuk pibiranu ikaiba 
Poraklo, poraklo fuck, yoobi, karnat, dhuk-thaomei
Mayam adusu phoomkhrasi.

Eigi khudangda taap laona pairaga tamlak khi:

"Areppa leitana sitlakliba nungsittagi
Akhak araobana thallaba atiyadagi
Akangba machet amata leitraba leimaisidagi 
Ngakthokli eigi waheisingna eibu

"Eina it-li

"Eigi wahei maraksida lan yaode
Eigi wahei maraksida kangtrook yaode
Yaoriba haibabu

Sengdaba-oidabasingna oikhare asengba aoiba
Henkhare loomba matlaga fangba potcheina
