Summer of 69

Hun leh kum a liam a,
Lenrual hlui an kiam a,
Vanglaini a liam a,
Chakna pawh a kiam a.

Kan ngaih em em țhin, mihring ni lo, kha hriatrengna zawk kha thinlungah a châm reng a,

Kha hun nuam leh hlimawm, i liam tâk avanga nunhlui leh sulhnu ni ta mai zawk kha ka dâwn kir a,

He dinhmun rualrem lo tak ațang hian van angel ianga thla zara thlawk delh delh che hian ka hmu che a.

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

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong

VANDUAINA

Vanduaina i chunga a lo thlenin
Hmangaihtu der an lo lang ang
Hnemtu ni awm takin an lo hnai ang a
I vanduaina hmangin

Khawhar in iangin hnemtu nia i hriat
Ṭhenrual ṭhate pawh an ṭin zo ta

An hlimlai hlimthlate chuan

Lamliana kal turin i lian tawk lo va
Nang chu daifemah i tlâ ang a
Thinrim leh mahni inkhawngaihnaa khatin
I damchhung hun i hmang tawh ang

Thlan khur chhungah an la thawn liam ang che.

YOU AND I

You are there and I am here
Never bond and never heard
Before that beautiful day

You are there and I am here
In the middle of the class
Can think nothing but you

You are there and I am here
You stole my heart without consent
Cutest robber I'd ever met

You are there and I am here
Do come to me more closer
But I don't want my heart back.

RIAL ANG A DAI

Neih lung khawnga rual ban tum khan,
Sakruang mawina a ngaihthah a,
Chhungril awmlai tuar chungin
Zirna rûnpui a bel e;
Lenrual zingah a hlan ngam si lo
A pawi ngei e a chan riangvai.

Vanduai ṭahkhua sei tur reng a'n,
Chhimphei lamtluang a zawh a,
Beidawng leh chau taka awmin
Damna rûnpui a bel e;
Chûn leh zûa lah lianchhung si lo
Thlung lu a hai lunglai an vai.

Chûnnu ṭang bei mamawh si khan,
Ka ṭha, tiin biahthu a hlan a,
A dâwn lungruk hlan ngam lovin
A thuruk nen a liam dawn e;
Hringnun vul lai a bel thei ta lo
A sakruang pawh rial ang a dai.
