Mizo Folk Songs On The Pangs of Love

(Rendered into English by Sangliana [L], Ex-M.P)

1. A tuar zia reng reng a awm nem maw,
Berhva chun ngai Khawtlang lam vai ang hianin;
Ni ka leng zo lo ve nang ngaih chu.

Painful, oh, painful beyond all bearing,
Yearning for you like a young bird for its mother;
I pine, I faint through the livelong day.

2. Chhun a rei em, zan a tawi chuang lo,
Ka zai vawng vawng mai dawn laikhum thleh nemah;
Kei ang hian diin mi ngai lo ve.

Long is the day, nor shorter is the night,
I languish on my bed through the long hours;
Pining for her who pines not for me.


3. Di ngaih hi chhunrawla ring awm maw?
Thu leh biahzai dang lo se zawh ka nuam e,
Ka chung lelte leh thlakhawng zawng.

Could I but speak their tongues, fain would I ask,
The birds and singing cicadas of the air;
If ever a lover’s yearning was subsistence enough.

4. Lem ang min der suh, ka hma ngai rawh,
Luah lai a rem loh chuan sam ang min then la;
Ar ang vaih khua min tlai thlawn e.

Deceive me not, be considerate,
If you are not for me, let me go;
My bewildered path like a fowl benighted.

5. A pawi em a ni e, dawn ve teh,
Khawvel dam chhung rei lo te kan len laiin,
Duh tak leng pawm lo va par chuai chu.

Come, think, how sad, how very sad it is,
As though this transcient life on earth we pass;
To fade and not to know the bliss of love.

6. Tlanga siahthing thliin a chhem then thin,
Lunglen inbat karah hmelmain, Parte,
Min sawi then mai awm e nang nen hian.

The trees on the hill top sway in the wind,
Beloved, I fear lest our love should sway
In the malicious wind of whispering tongues.
