Mipa in ti ve lem
Hmel pawh fuh ve fu tho,
Suit te pawh ha ve thin,
Pianphung pawh duai bik lo
Ruih leh chhur mai chin chu -
Aw, a va han ti ho!
Pa lo roh!

Lung ah tleitir dawntuai hrang vung na e
Run ah dawn tam awmhar ka chhiar ta e
Tu mah biahnem palai a’n ka ring nem
Thang tur ka dawn ngamlo ka hril biahnem

Turni hrang vung ah ngaihno bei na e
Thimhmul nau tah hun ah danglo na e
Duhleng thlang dawn i, leng dang ka thlang nem
Lamkawi a pheichheh ka thlir ning nem

Sial iang hlin tur, ka hlin tur chiang sa e
Mahse tlang ah than ka zuamlo na e
Relthang karah duhleng min thlan ka ring nem
Puan ang hnawl kei ka chan tur ka phal nem.

The lady’s hands are lovely—
Soft, white,
Fingers decked with rings,
Pointed, painted nails.

My mother’s hands—
Callous and cracked,
Black with kitchen dirt,
Short square fingers,
Broken nails.
But how adorable those hands
As they work to feed and clothe me—
Hands marred by love.

Hmanah chaun chaitual ka thai,
Tunah erawh zing ni ka ai.

Hmanah chaun hlimlai par a vul,
Tunah erawh hlimlai par ang a chuai.
