Awkaa neem ih thulehnak in thinhennak a daiter; Asinain ṭong hrang in thinhennak a suahter sin.

Thusimtu 3:7

Daite ih um caan a um ih ṭong caan a um;

Hla:

(Saka Saka pyaw deh kha, phiphi lay ta pyaw ba)2

Kyiankyian ttantan pyaw deh kha, tu siksu laih may

Saka Saka pyaw deh kha, phiphi lay ta pyaw ba.
