NGATANG KHAMIMAN
Mirin zingtun vapeithang
Thing yumda mei khamit tha
Ngakham-mathuisang kahai
Chifa thada chiphan hao
Langphei zingkum shankup thang
Shiman kapai lan khorda
Shungkham makashiman ram
Sina shongfa yunzatla
Kathi meifa pam vara
Manglali chithit haida
CHORUS:
Ok'thui katonga samphanglala
Mirin shimanhai akha
Nawui tongkaza khi lei?
Mi akhawui mirin
Khi eina ngathakhuishap?
Mirin ngatangkhami man
Proho, ina khi mira,
I morei hi maningla?
Ngatha khui Calvaryli
Mirin; morei hamsangda.
English translation (By Mavatmi Kasar):
THE COST OF REDEMPTION
Life at its sunset
'Tis but embers that's faded
Riches and treasures acquired
Are wasted like dust in the wind
When toiling years are o'er and measured
Heaping temporal treasures,
Only to occlude the Eternal;
Treading on the gold-paved path
Toward death and damnation
Condemning the soul to death
What shall it profit you
If you gain the whole world,
And lose your own soul?
What shall a man give in exchange
For his own soul?
Lord, what shall I give in exchange
For my soul's redemption
Save for the sins
That I lay bare at Calvary,
Committing my sinful life at your feet?
