Khonthi chaabasu matalli;
chei chaabasu makijei;
khallure saoningi;
tumin leire mapende;
ephong phong-naraba ngaak-sibu;
haidadi hairage karibu touwege,
Ado eikhoi loinadi khang-bani.

Enaak khunbana charaa henbadi
chaaba tumdabagi oirini.
Lairabana henbana
chaningai leitabagi nattra?
Band-duna touradi,
eraang duna houradi,
nong-magi charaa taan-jaba
mayaam amasu leirina.
Phagat-pra hairasu phagatte.
Emung mahi laang-hanba,
leikai koom-hei oihan-basa;
kanaana kari tourino,
Eikhoi loina khangiko.

Vote hek laakpaga,
maana waasak-khiba mayaamdo,
namthaak chabool ngaang-bada;
mayaam-su tumin taabado!
Tou-roidaba pareng haibada,
gyan taaba saaraga,
khubaak-ka houna khukhiba;
lupa 400, 500 da leikhiba,
eikhoi leibaak-ki voter-sing;
khalluraga ekaijei.
Eikhoi loina khangiko.

Mayaam-gi phattaba thing-lingei,
emung-dana kankhat-laga thamjinba,
kayaa amasu yaoriko.
Emung khuding pharadi;
yumthong khuding gyan taanaradi;
meewaa ngaang-naba tok-ladi;
yeng-sin-naba leppadi;
hot-naba-nabu leptradi;
hayeng-di eikhoi soidana nungaini.
Eikhoi loina khangiko.

Lambina komjao,
uphool-na pook-mam,
dress-kadi khunaan ama;
thouriba gaari mawong khutaadi;
pairiba mobilegadi ayoubini;
thong-gaal-dana uiraga phamba mayaamdo,
emung-dana poo-thaang-ba ngam-nadre.
Adusu karisu haidana tumin adum leisinba.
Eikhoi loina khangiko.

Chahi asuk saang-base;
chaokhat-naba amatasu sillamde.
Clerk tagi houraga peisaadi chaadoida,
lisaang sit-na soirak-pana,
houjikti pullap waaredo.
Eikhoigi ethakta loina nalledo.
Emaa nungsidaba kanaabu mareige?
Eyumdagi henbabu kadaidano?
Nakhoina yaat-lamba poramda;
nachaa nanao eikhoidi
ngasidi refugee oiredo.
Eikhoi loina khangiko.
