The Awakening
Boboi Pukhrambam *
Rise up all Meetei bloods
For the best of our generation;
To build a better world for us,
To build a better Nation.
Kangleipak was the name,
The Blacks made to it an offence.
Kneeling down at their feet,
This, we should not make as our essence.
Let us not fear now
That we shall die of hunger.
For, we have our own resources
Which we just need to uncover.
He, who has risen as the 'KING'
Shall unite the Hills and the Plains.
He shall march one and all towards freedom
And clear all our heart's stains.
Rise up all Kangleichas,
For, it's time to make the Crows repent.
The Ramandis and the Paangals shall unite;
Manipur and Meghalaya would near to adjacent.
Then shall a new Kangleipak be formed;
The old things lost and new things reformed.
The Crows who would then want us to retreat,
The Thaang-Taa shall rise and bring them defeat.
To Freedom, To Freedom, To Freedom
