Shimkhur khieina ningkhalemra,
Mashimitkapai ningphun, kharita otphun
Hon-hon-la maunglui kachi thada
Mashun bichar la marāshungnido?
CHORUS
Makhangatun nacham chili
Khi tuiyār eina khararchan sāra?
Khayon makhalei āshee tākahai
Khonshāt shongrān
Mangapatmara!
Masamyuimara!
Kapikta thotchān mangacheipai.
Āshee eina pāng mazikta tharluiralā?
Āthut hāngkasang ithumwui maning
Kha manglā khuirānla nathum maning.
BRIDGE
Mirin tharuk ka̱lāshāt tantak ngasahao.
Zimik na tunhailala, ningva matunrar,
Chikatmikahāi āremma maninglakma.
Khararchānhi thotkachida shāvāranu.
(English Translation)
With what shall the families find solace,
these unerasable memories, a crushing burden,
Like waiting for those who will never return
will justice, too, ever arrive?
CHORUS
To your barbarity,
in what language are we to reason?
For the innocent blood that was shed,
retribution will claim its due!
None escapes it!
Deception cannot rewrite history.
Can blood wash your guilty hands clean?
Vengeance is not ours to exempt,
and no life is yours to take.
BRIDGE
Six innocent lives met a cruel fate.
Though the sun has set,
our minds cannot be at rest.
Their sacrifice is not in vain.
May their story echo through generations.
