Maijai jini gajaoni maijai jini guphuni

Baishlingba bairingba baiphnuba rajine

Taught to dance, knows to dance and showed the dance to people

Khaja mini buthujang khaja mini buthu buthujang

be happy and laugh together 

Baihba jingde buthujang baihba luba buthujang

We danced and enjoyed together

phiadi, lugurao Gainnang phinnang salainang

Come one fiends let's wear, drape and get ready

Raja basa nangjaogothai khnailam phinang

We will keep the hair as per the wish of king's son

Jing khnai lamphinang

We will keep the hair

Phaidi lugurao , Gabarajang Ranibo jingjang baiphadu 

Come on friends, the king and queen are dancing with us

Naiha jingjang baiphadu

Look dancing with us

Mdairao damrani khaja mininang

The gods of heaven will laugh with joy and happiness 

Rajiyung bo gashainnang dongthaosi janang

There will be peace in the state and will be able to live peacefully 

Gilim gasha girinang waimu bo girinang

There will be no illness and no worries

Habesao halali majangshi janang 

The world will be beautiful

Sainsola Saphola Roinadi khaphola 

Surem dangnang buthujang 

will celebrate Surem together 

Bushu jinang buthujang 

Will eat Bushu together

Habsaoha khaja mini basain phlainang

Will spend days in this world with joy and happiness 

Daunang luhnang maigainnang

Habsaoha yao maokhase khuh bo maore

If you work then only your stomach can get filled in this world

Selenang selenang 

Will be lazy 

Selenang selenang

Horain Horain horiannang 

Mihshai mihshai mihshai ning 

deer, deer, deer you

Jimathi bonthai ning 

will you eat the fruit of the tree

Dikhrain di-ha nahsha daoba 

The small fish is moving in the water which is not deep. 

Naga mathla gibir jaba 

young boy and girl gone mad

Nahsha gubah haih 

The small fish got escaped 

Nahsha gubah 

The small fish got escapaed

Majangbade khim bahba samphranggur

Beautiful flower, thin like an onion cover

Angsik matla dehkade 

If my daughter grows up

Alangshi thihkkabo baiba nunangmuh 

could watch dancing for once

Phanthao bumuh rihadu

Giving brinjal seeds 

Morshai bumuh rihadu 

Giving Chilly seeds 

Bogrongjang baijangseh 

with seeds and 

Nawai nawai nawai ning 

Vulture, vulture, vulture  you

Guju guju  birding la

Fly high and high

Birding birding naidingla 

fly, fly and look around

Mih githi nunangthi.  

Will a dead animal be visible
