A Mournful Song Poem by Bipin Churchung Rabha

A mournful song
Oh, what a mournful song!
The cool air touches my heart ever,
Somewhere someone murmuring her song
Beside that stream
Let I console her
Let I care about her
She's murmuring ever
A mournful song
Oh, what a mournful song!

"Ribare riba bare jela
Ha manday bogila
Pure renga bisina
Song hasong rakhate
Lwga bhaio tamphate
Dukh mane renga re bang bi hadamina" (1)

Oh no! I'm so sorry dear
He's no more
You couldn't find out
Wherever you go to search him
Neither hills nor stream can tell
If you go to ask them
Don't be nervous
Don't be losing your heart
Be calm be calm be calm!
She's murmuring ever
A mournful song
Oh, what a mournful song!

"Famanchakai ramo renge
Rengjo nang besina bungbange
Song hasong rakhate
Lwga bhaio tamphate
Dukh mane renga re nang bihadamina
Ha manday bogila
Pure renga besina" (2)

Don't be cry anymore
Be conscious my dear
All have to be follow
The same path one day
Neither young nor aged
Neither you nor me
Escaped from this mortal
So pray for his soul
Get rest in peace in heaven.
