DARLONG NAI

                                                                  By Vanrema Darlong

Dungtoi, hmelsia, habal chang hom eila
Hnam chu, toi mak, duai mak, bal mak chu,

Thoi roi, thoi roi, kawlbul an salta
Darlong hma khua a var ningta
Kor,vai, hei hin an ne-ngirta
Hlawtlangin rem an hun luata

Hmatiang thlir chun ‘degree’ eitul
Eitul luata rengram thuthmun

Zam hlawk no-rei hnam ei chang
Hnet, tak phur tak, khir tak ding
Hruaitu ral tha en-nin
Thangthar dek chu hma-tawng kher ding

Khawvel, chang-pan laia awm hom eila
Ei chang ding ta-ak :-
Hnam zia hmang tak, hnam hmangai tak.
