Thawai khubakta haptuna, Wanglaba chinglon mapalbu landuna,
Chinglon kakhiba echani,
Punshi sintha pangthoknaba,
Sareng lengmanaba kayaga angam phiral tanaba chatkhido.

Ayuki pungja anganbada palem-panthou mangol bu loinaduna,
Chatkhibani echado sintha karam pangligaba,
Mipaidaba ngamdedo palem-panthou anidi,
Halakhigani khanna ngairi, angam phiral puduna.

Korou mahaksu nganna machangkhi,
Mihul mahaksu machongge, Ema gi ebungo laklabra,
Pungpham kaidaba echani,
Khutta thoumei paiduna echabu lakpa ngairido.

Thenglaba ahing mikap miraokholna yakairakpa matam oirakpada,
"Ema nacha angam phiral purakle, nacha eibu okpiro"
Laibak thiba meeoi mapokni,
Ningjariba taibang mapubusu mawoge phangdaba.

Ngaona koina sitpa matamgi malangna,
Rashi na yomlaba echasi sakpham,
Nungsibana thalaba echagi khonjel,
Marol thoktabagum hiptuna leiri.

Yengheidraba sakphamni, taheidraba thoudokni,
Minungsi leitraba taibang lichatna,
Mani gumlaba echabu etha nungdagi lapna thambiri,
Hounadraba thoudoktuna marup mapang kayabusu kangaona khanghankhi.

Angambana panba, shel na chaoba laipak haibado oire,
Kangaonaraba kayagi mikap miraokholna atiyabu nilli,
Chatnabi jat na mioiba marakta tuhatnare,
Angam angamba kanana kanano masak khangnaraktre.

Hey Sanaleipakki angam athou,
Echa kainabagi meichaksi phaodabra nakhoidi,
Nungna saba murtigum leptuna leiriba,
Kholao kayana ninlare marup mapang kayagi.

Hey taibang meeoiba nangsu minungsi khangdeda,
Amuba phijol setuna karigi laknari amambada,
Mikap thoktraba angamba nakhoisu nongmadi khanglakani,
Echana angam phiral phanglabakan ningsinglakni ningamdana "LOITAM RICHARD" ....
