TODAY -
Living or dreaming ?
Bijita Akham *
Wearing all the crimson attires
The sun rises up in the east
Awake! my loved one!
To lead all your friends
To live a worthy life,
Working hard dutifully
Learn, labour without delay.
Oh! What is it I'm doing
Rather I'm singing
I am now drowned in dream
Has he now come back from college
Whose bag is this one
Being stained with blood red.
What is it, these cries
Amid smoke high in the sky
Whose chandawa is fluttering
Why am I being helped to rise up.
Leave me alone
Go off from my side
Resolv'd I to wait for my son
Long since did I not see him.
Manipuri: Mangla Taibangla
Translated by: Salam Tomba
