For Cole

Khawvel thiamna hmangin i hringnun dam hun chhung chu pawh sei theih ni tawh lo mah se,

I thlarau chuan i lei taksa  thâm ral mai tur chu chhuahsan châk zek zek tawh mah se,

Chung lam kohna chhanga chatuan chawlhnaa siang lawi turin koh mek ni tawh mah la,

"Van nuamah chuan kan intawk leh dawn a lawm" i tih phawt chuan lung damin ka thlah ang che.

I tel lo hringnun erawh hlimawm viau turah ngai bik lo la.

=========================================

I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear
Your last words to me.

Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away.
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday.
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side.
