Song Lyrics -

Por dei kein u patsha,
( Time is a prince,)

Sekon,minit bad ki kynta,
( Second, Minutes, and hours,)

Ngi sngew dang tang mynno,
(We felt like it was just few a days)

Khat-ei lah poi shaduh shano,
(But it had already moved ahead,)

Dei tang u por bymju shynshar donbor,
(Only time has never misused its power,)

Ngi sngew dang tang mynno,
(We felt like it was just few a days,)

Khat-ei lah poi shaduh shano,
(But it had already moved ahead,)

Ia ka phim lah ban bat
(You can never hold onto time,)

Wat bor ka buit jong ka jingstad
(No matter how much power or wisdom you possess,)

Shalyntem ki por ki iaid khlem da sngewthuh,
(The rotation of time goes on without understanding,)

La bun jingkylla kim iai sah kumjuh,
(Things change and never remain the same,)

Por ka mynnor kiba ju wan ban phalang,
(The old times will never come back,)

Katno ki pynsngewblaw katno ki pynsngewtmang,
(You felt solitude all around you,)

Bunsien kein ngi ju kwah ban phaidien
(Many times we want to go back,)

Sha ki por ka mynnor kein sa shisien,
(To the old times once again,)

Ah!ko por ba phan da lah,
(Ah! Time, if only you could,)

Sha ki sngi ka mynnor sa shisien to rah.
(Take us back to the old days.)

Por ka mynnor kumno ka la saindur,
(The old times have their plans,)

Ba ka lanor kein ba kan wandur,
(The future awaits to be shaped,)

Por ka mynnor ka la dep iam briew,
(The old times have been crying,)

Ban im ka lanor jong ki khun ki ksiew,
( For the betterment of the grandchildren,)

‘Er batemon jong ki sngi hyndai,
( The gentle breeze of the old times,)

U longmynta dei ban pynjanai,
(People of today should make it better,)

Jyrwit jyrwat ha ki kumno ka thain sohsat,
(Difficulties have been tormenting,)

U longmynta sa shisien dei ban prat.
(But people of today should pave the way.)

Por ki sbai rupa ki la pynjot pynpra,
(Times of wealth have spoiled)

Naduh katai ka mynshuwa haduh ka mynta,
(From that times till now,)

Dei ka rhah shimet khlem da puson,
(It is self centered, greed without deep thought,)

Aiu ban jia kumno kan long.
(What will happen?)

Jingkyrmen aiu kein ia katai ka lanor,
(What kind of hope do we have for the future,)

Haba jabieng thylli kum bula khlem janor,
(When empty brains act like clowns,)

Ka jingbym iohi jngai kan sa ring swai,
(The way we don’t see the future will be wither us,)

Ia kata ka lanor ha ‘Ka Ri ba kynjai’.
(To the future, in the peaceful land)
