Freedom

Ningthungrwe babwa ei.
Anu pam bathan ga,
Rwan talei om dolaan kamang bi tanga.
Kama apuna ula ye dinu
Apana muga ei setangrwe.
Ningthungrwe aniya ei anupam bina namlaga
Inkhun khatle achaat mengbi seswakka.
Mibing balumsat potrit phunlu bazwan taram kasabi
Onglu Inpui ramwan zo inlam zungrubo?
Ning thungrwe eibe thiraang kabin thangmaknu riakla onglu.
Misen bi mutang maknu man phunlu
Ala swakle arang, ala khutle arang.
Siantui na inmwanzai thingkung bi kra ongnu dan,
Nupa baluptui manzo ei nungainu garwe.
Phaangmurwe rwan na munu,
Sasu rwe rwan na sanu thaisaak
Inthangrwe rwan na innu.
Rwannu busun ding antiamga????
Ei ningnu thungrwe.
Ei be ningthungrwe.
Nupa theitang maknu riakla onglu eibe karo rwe.

Nupa baluptui pa ambo?
Nupa sianlan ingai bo?
Sanwam sa, in nwam in.
Babwa tibazo heirwada.
Lung owei zanu kum kalo ga lung mak-e be
Pa am bahao bo abaan zaang rwan?
Laarui suinu telanga
Talei thiraang natdom hungda baraangtu zwang thou darwe.
Nu’na kanoithangnu choungle
Kana bina braan khit khit.
Pa’, pa’, nu’, nu’ ula namlanu lawai ramla.
Nupa choung takan nu
Inmai pokron kachaak takan numa baiye.
Anu naba ei hungbi diga
Khouring dwan dan kheng.
Baan, pai na tambi, eina ya zamak e.
Anu thi, apa thi ongrwe
Rwamramla nasa eina raiga tuthat rwe.
Nu’ mai, pa’ mai kaika ngam makka aan inkam to.
Nungairwe eibe rwan ramla selu nungairwe.
Anu sungriangrek balan zwe.
Ei ring ong harwa da.
Apa pangkan intia nat ongbi ei karomak inpha karoni!
Sanrwan damding rwe na-in saga
Rwandop cha kadomlu.
Mimakmai bacham maknu ding baan tolu.
Rwansa ba tuipui kachak takan darwe.
Phaango babaan rwan ba tuiraan kadarwe.
Ei anu aisia losia chapthi.
Mutlanu mei chok ongrwe
Raanglan lanu thiraang karek hungnarwe.
Anu kachaap raching kra zo maisianu potraat tuga anu pam bi
Bazwan pok pok thang.
Anu wo nalei chaak,
Apa wo nalei thun ngam larwe.
