ema keithel do kaihoure
maroi manam na chaihoure
miyam gi khongna netkhaibada
anouba hingol maroi sing do
pathoure.....

Masidasu natte
kanagi nga makhal suna chaihoure
ngahingna manamna wa-wa namme
ema singdo pot hundoklamlaga chenkhre
masa masa hingnaba chennakhre

Ho! Bazaar do kaihoure..
Mi kappam bagira? Natte
Combing operation la? Natte
adudi karino...

Shamu makhong gi shamu do ngaohoure!
Madi karigi ngaoriba asuk kuiba matamdi ngaodraga
Ngaoba oirammoi...

ei amukta warisage ngaigkho:
hey Shamu, karigino nangna tafing tafing chelliba
kanada kari warouba leire..
ema singse hingnanaba keithel famjabani
nangna loina thugaire keithel se, kari pende nang?

Hey, lamdam sigi mitangba praja
eise kuire lengdana leirakpa
yenge yenglakpani, eibu thawoide nakhoina
enaton se kenba yaba kenkhre
emei-sisu hanna yengbide nakhoina

matam amadadi
eibu yengba arappada gi mi kaya ama lak ammi
ngasidi nakhoigi chaokhatpagi mitou tamba heinabiduna
eigi ethak ta thong sajille,,,
(flyover kouwee hai Maharaj na)
eibu udre...
eina touriba haibabu ngaiba
eina asum asum tumsillakpa ngairi
adubu nakhoigi taibangsu tumsillakle,,
takutchei nakhoigi sajat..
Sa ga khetnaba leite.
eidi nungtigi ui;
lapna lakchaba pot yonbi singbu
Imphal machana pot yolhande
nakhoi sibu mira,
murti oina faoba eidi nakhoise pamjade

korou gi masek na yeidringei
upaileitaba nanggumba
huranba tamhoudaba
thabak leitaba mathou sitpa
mayam na eigi akoibada takshi sollarani
nongmagi chara tannaba.
yengba ngamdre taba ngamdre ei

Maharaj Bheigyachandra dasu haijarure
wakatlure eina
Adubu madi apangbani.
mana khalli;
madudi thong asida mahak
Kangla manungda
nongmadi changkhini
ngasi mahakti ngairi.
kayada pangliba!
ningthou yamle ngasidi
mahak ti khangjade
mahak ti supnadagi murti ni murti
