“PIAN IN DANG E ZOLEI”
– Minthang Tonsing
Leivui pan Zomite hong laam tou in,
Sun in meipi’n nong pi zel a,
Na Min ka hon tawisang theihna ding un,
Zan in meikuang in non pii lai.
Hon heisan ken aw, ka Toupa,
Khamuanpa hong sawl lai aw,
Laizom khat dougal kisuah zouta,
Pian in dang e Zolei.
Jordan guungal ah napi bang in,
Ka nun taakna nong pii zel a,
Ka zuizel ding ka Cross pua in,
Gupna nibang na hon taan lai.
Ka luah ding gamnuam na seh khol lai,
Vanmi siangte leen na mun,
Te diam-diam ding aksi bang,
Et in lawm na’n chia tua Gam.
