 ZUOPA MEL MULOU

1. Senpan momnou Zuopa mel mukha lou,
Tuunnu anglai a kilbang ka khang khie;
Zuopa anglai ah khatvei beh bual khalou,
Kumsawt lungtai theilou kana'n kamang,
Sahmel tongkup theilou ka velvel zong,
Kei di'n lunghel kan sang e.

Zuopa'n tuong nei nuosie mun muong theising,
Vangkhuo limlien sausuon daidam ta e;
Tunnnu toh tuonglam sabang kavai maw uh,
Zuopa anglai ah khatvei beh buol leng aw.

2. Zuopa ang a buolte ka en man in,
Lunggu ah luonhi luong la kabang lou;
Ka ka awgin la koima'n hole chilou,
Thuoptu neilou khan khuo liangvai na'ng e;
Kum khuo kihei zel zong ka Zuopa la,
Lai valeng vang chizong lung a gellou.

3. Sienmang iitna saang in hoina lawm e,
Guol toh tangbang kim in aw ahing siem;
Saulim nunnuom ah chiin-le-tuoi senkawi toh,
Tuunnu vang lim lien ah naubang nui in,
Zuopa tung guolzawlna tuibang luong in;
Kei tung azong hing luong e.
