Chirai Naga
Chongtham Ongbi Subadani Devi *
Open the curtain of clouds
Have a glance you brave one
See your motherland.
Long ago, there lived
Chief of Mayangkhang village
For the sake of motherland
Ascended the gallows
Chirai Naga, the brave one.
Departed the loving soul
His name is immortal
With the sun in the sky
And the earth below
Chirai Naga reigns immortal.
Outnumbered the enemies
Has not shown his back
Defended his motherland
With all his might
Hills and plains unite.
The tale so old one
But forget him not
I call you again and again
You doughty champion.
