Anju munnum tum sorgintso,
As you are an angel of heaven,
Uzvarh zalo noketrantso,
A glow of stars has dawned,
Amtso môgu ekttaim kortso,
Let us unite our love,
Cazrats' sacramentu geutso.
Let us receive the marriage sacrament.
Guttu sangylol' muzo tuka,
I confessed my devotion secretly to you,
Respondero kely'm nam maka.
Why did you not answer me?
Ya kallyzach' muja suka,
O my heart's happiness,
Tum sanddun mak' vosnaka.
Do not abondon me.
Tuzo môgu munnum maka,
That your love is really for me,
Soglea sonsra' porgottola.
Everyone knows.
Tuj' vinny'm konnom nam rê maka,
There is no one besides you,
Sonsram' foxal kortol' maka.
Who can make me happy in this world.
Dolleanch' mauli munnum muji,
You are the delight of my eyes,
Dimby' gal'n abraso keli,
So I knelt down and embraced you.
Gonnim' porim ubun geli,
But you soared away like an eagle,
Dukant galnum atmom-kurhi.
Steeping my soul and body in sorrow.
Nuzo nuzo rê mujan,
I cannot, oh, I cannot,
Tuje vinnem sonsar tanddum' nuzo.
Face life (lit. cross the world) without you.
