Words

Words

      A spell cast upon you

      To fall in love real hard,

                 Or drag you farther away

                 From where you first fell.

Words

       Become strange weaponry

       Or the only feasible defense,

                 In a capacious playground

                 Or in a rambling war zone.

Words

        A device for melting hearts

        Or for mending scars,

                The beeline to my heart

                And out.

No Love will ever be Lost

I know that the heavens are calling you, as

we too call your name, standing around you

here on earth, holding hands. I know that

this must have been the hardest decision

for you to decide, but whatever decision you

make, I am sure that no love will ever be lost

from either side. No love will ever be lost.

And so you decided

We're gonna miss you Ruat

We love you

The Church Stole my Family

The Church Stole my Family

When I was young I used to attend church

With mom and dad, brother and sister

We would all sit together in one bench

The five of us, our little own family.

The Church Stole my Family

Dad would now sit with his pavalai folks

Mom at the platform with the womenfolk

My sister would sit among the choir

And bro would now sit with his children.

The Church Stole my Family

I have never felt so lonely and lost ever since

But I guess the safest place to ever be lost

Is at the church, for that is where

Sinners like me are Found !!

Vanduai i inti maw?

Vanduai i inti maw?

I chantawkah i lungawi lo maw?

En teh, heng naupangte hi

An duh vang ni hauh lovin

An phu vang ni hauh lovin

Hiv natna an kawl asin.

Vanduai i la inti cheu maw?

Malsawm i dawn i hmuh hmaih cheu maw?

An awh em em nunphung pangngai

I dil ni hauh lova i neih kha

An tan chuan vana rah ang a ni asin.

Vanduai i la inti cheu dawn em?

Nge midangte tan ke i pen dawn?

Pathianin malsawmna a vur che kha

Midang tan luanchhuah tir a hun ta

Nang malsawmna ni ang che.
