Ko Soso Tham, Myllung ka Ri!
Shano? Shaei? Ngan shem shuh kum phi,
Ko Soso Tham baieid, Myllung ka Ri Khasi!
Ka Nam jong phi kan sah shirta,
ha ngi u Khun Khasi Khara.
U Snem Khatphra spah Hynñiewphew Lai,
Sha pyrthei phi wan ban tbeh jingshai;
Phi la long u païa shlem ka Jaidbynriew
Lyngba ka thoh ka tar, iangi phi pyneh rngiew.
Ha ka ri u Hynñiewtrep Hynñiewskum
Shaphang ka Ri hapoh ba dum;
Phi lap ïa ki symboh jingpyrkhat,
Ba mih na rngai ki thwei ummat.
Kyndit h'u Snem Khadkhyndai Sawphew,
Jngai phi lah leit noh nangne na sla khyndew;
kum u Syiem hi phi la long ko Soso Tham,
Im ka kyrteng sah ka nam.
