Shatlo leirang shatlo
Leirang shatlo, nahak shatlo

Pomna, fongna, soomhatlo
Eigi pookning eigi thawai

Kathoklage
Eigi pookning nangi fajabagi wakhalda

Kathoklage
Eigi thawai nangi fajabagi ironnoongda

Leirang nahak shatlo
Mapham keidasu udare fajaba
Mapham keidasu thiruba fangdare
Nahakta nattana

Leirang shatlo, nahak shatlo
Pomna, fongna, soomhatlo
Atei mapham keidasu phangdraba
Phangjarage nangi fajabada achumba
Shatlo leirang shatlo
Leirang shatlo, nahak shatlo
Phangjarage nangi fajabada achumba ||
