Oh beautiful, be gone

Oh beautiful, mistake of nature,

How on earth are you nurtured?

Oh gentle, like as a dove so gentle,

This world is too cruel for you to settle.

Away to paradise, be gone;

Life is too sad to make it your own.

Oh beautiful, beauty of no measure,

Flee from this world of short while pleasure.

Thenna Kawl Eng Ka Tan A Thim

Ţhenna kawl eng ka tan a thim,

Lungduhlai then zawng a na ngei e.

Nain ka rum, tu’n min hnem zo lo,

Ka tuaran vanpui lo chim e.

Lairilan ka bawksawp a,

Chhungrilan ka tlusawp e.

Hringchan ni a kin hma zawng

Hringnun ar khaw thim daiin,

Min chhawmdawltu, nang, awm ta lo chu,

Phei chhamin ka leng dawn lo ni;

Lungrun, nang lo chuanin e,

Tluk leh tlak fawma bawksawpin,

Ţapin lungngaihna ruam ka hrut ang.

Ţam ngaina lo mihring hi

Hmangaihnaa rilţam dangcharin,

Tam chhawlin ka leng dawn lo ni!

Work of art

Thou art a work of art,

None fairer than thee on earth,

A painter’s painted picture art thou,

A grand grand masterpiece art thou.

If only I be with thee

The luckiest man will then I be;

If only thee unfold thine heart,

What joy would fill my heart!

No, I dare not desire thy taste,

I dare not longed to be embraced;

No, I dare not asked thy love,

And make thee a jest to laugh.

            Oh! Woe is me, the poor me!

            For having eyes for what I fit not like thee

Me and Her - we rhyme

I run to get her

Then I catch up with her

Now we walk together

With love between me and her

No, love won’t grow old

As of stories oft’ told

Pure and shiny like gold

As for our hearts were unfold

‘Cause of you I smile

For you I’d swim a mile

Ev’ry second’s worthwhile

You lit my world when you smile
