Nunkhaw Sana

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Hringnun hohzia zirtîr kher i ngai lo,
Nunna derthâwnzia hrilh kher i ngai hek lo;
Vawiinah rim takin thawk la,
Naktûkah a rah seng lo pawh ni la;
‘Beidawnna’ hi hmun ken kher a ngai lo,
‘Beiseina’ hian i thian nih a châk reng fo.

Tûn hun hi i ta liau liau a ni a,
Hlim tak leh duhawm takin nung la;
Tumruhna nên thawkrim ang che.
Naktûk atân engmah khêk suh –
Chutih hunah chuan Nunkhaw Sana hi
A lo tâwp dêr tawh maithei asin!

ILLUSION BEHIND A WISH

Saturday, August 4th, 2012

When the magical moon shine above

I see the images of you in the sky,

Dancing with the star of love above

Remembrance talks back about you

Heard less word torn apart my thought

And deep down inside loneliness kills me;

Illusion overshadowed and anointed me

I stand in vain waiting for you

Memories of you linger they fall down

Thlirtu Au Aw

Senmei thlifim, thlangtiang thlifim a lo tleh

Maicham a ti chim, hawilopar a thliak

Leikapui zau atangin leikapui zimah kaiin

Thlarau pailral kawng thuampui a thlak.

Aurawl a rawn chhuak, a thangvel e,

Chhak thlang, chhim leh hmar kil tinah

“Lei pialral, faisa ram, kan chanvo a ni” tiin

Aiawh mualkil rorel pailral lamtluang a nih ringin

Thlantui leh thisen fara luantir huamin

Vap awm lo turin fathang haral a ni,

“Ramtiam kan kai” tiin hla do an chham

Tlangpui tinah senmei detin an lawm.

Parmawi a chuai thuaia, lungphun a chim,

Zalenna par thliahsak tiamtuten, zalen fate

Zalenna par zu thlumin an hrai rui,

An thisenin lei an dawh, mimal pialral an kai.

An ramtiam, an lei pialralah ngei chuan,

Pawi khawih lo, hnungkhirh loh saltang,

Zalenna zu ruia kal thiam lo chan an chang zo.

An buh hmunah tam chhawlin an tlu,

Lui kiangah dang charin Paula rauhsan

Luhka an kai; an chanvo thihna tur a chang ta si.

Lenlai Lungdi

Mahriang awma nunhlui thlirkirin
Zotual Han phai mawitu lenmawi
Nangnena lenlai kan chen dunlai te

Rauthla mai chang mahse
Nghilh zawng I har ngei e…
Lenlai ka lungdi…

 

To My Beloved…

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

O’ beloved of mine, to thee i pray,

Let not thy heart be trifled by fear

Of ancient betrayal and allegiance sway,

Stolen like pearls Beauty so dear!

Across the green seas, beneath the darkling sky,

Yearning thence hath but a hollow drift;

Gracious no man, the devil may cry,

Hence betrothed, the woeful tale a hist.

 

But thine love shalt not waver a bit,

Assured be thy heart once hath we vowed-

Forbear in faith thy adversaries spit,

‘Tis lasting endurance yet slowed-

Loyal be thy name, i pray, in wake and sleep,

Heaven be thy destiny, O’ beloved of mine;

Till earth doth sink in oceans deep,

Through eternity our love’s immortal shine.

Mizo Folk Songs On The Pangs of Love

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

(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.

Ka chil ka helh ṭep!

Tive niah nuah!:

Kan khuavel kar dan hla mah se,
Ban phak maiah ka ngai ṭhin che.
Anka hril dan ka vai mang e!
Ka lairil phawrh thei turin engtin ti i maw?
Duat te’n ka pawm lai che a rei ta e,
Tuar zawh a har kei ka tan hian;
Tehkhawng melin hla mah se,
Ka thinlung reng i chhuahsan ngai si lo.

Han thlir vel la chung chhawrthlapui leh siarte,
An dang chuang lo ve turni te nen.
I anka nemte ka tan thli hiau ni e,
Frederick tlang thlifim iangin.

Hring hluan phulmawi hmun nuamah
A ṭhiangin an leng indi rialin,
Hmangaihna vangin thim hlauhna bo ve,
Hmangaihna vanga hnu chhui kir chang lah bo lo.
Tum mah ila ka kalsan thei lo che,
Mang lamah i dang chuang si lo.
I hla tur ka hril chang ni te hian,
Ka thinlung i luahkhat zo si ṭhin.

Bonus: :P

Awmkhua a har lunglen ka kham.
Turni sa vei, lunglai ti changêl hmun e.
Ka kûr ngiai nguai chhungkim ngaiin.
Tawn leh ni her thuai ang maw?!!
Ka dawn ngamlo a hnual zawngin.
Aw turni, vel vawlin sa mahla,
I thai reh hlei law’ng e ka chhungkim ngaih ni!

Hmangaihna (Keima Version)

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

Hmangaihna chuan thikthu a keng tel thin a,
Rinhlehna erawh hmun a kian ngai lo;
Hun harsa paltlang a ngai fo thin a,
Bansan mai erawh chu a tum ngai lo.

Hmangaihna chuan duat a beisei thin ngei a,
Duat reng erawh chu a phut ngai hauh lo;
A beisei ang phak loh chang a awm thin a,
Beisei erawh a thulh phah ngai chuang lo.

Hmangaihna chuan lawm loh chang a nei thin a,
Chel taka tawrh erawh a bansan lo;
Lungawi loh chang pawh vawi tam a awm thin a,
Rei tak erawh a lungawi lo ngai lo.

Hmangaihna chu tawrhna angin a lang thin a,
A tawrhna chu lawmnaah a ngai thin;
Rinawmna hi a innghahna a ni a,
Kum tam pawh ni se,a pangngai reng thin.

Hlim ka duh a, i kianga ka awm hian ka hlim thin
Lungngaihna hi hnuchhawn ka duh a
Min hnuchhawn nia ka hriat lai hian ka lungngai thin
I hmui ka thlahlel a, fawh vawng vawng che ka chak thin
I tangnem bela kuah vawng vawng che leh
Zankhaw tairek pawh sawi loa i kianga hun hman te

Laikhum zaldun na’na kan zan hman dun zawng zawngte kha
A ni, vawrtawp thlenga kan khurh dun laite kha
Ka thlahlel a, ka ngai thin
Mahse he’ng zawng zawng hi awm ta lo se
Nui dun loin ngui dun i la
Min fawp loin min haw ta la
Chhun hi rumna’n hmangin zan hi tahna’n hmang i la
Ka la thlahlel tho che ang em?
