Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone




And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone

Ka zinna kawng thlaler hmun khawhar
He lei hrehawm an
Mi chim lungngaih tahna ten
Sualna hliam chu tuarin nun a lo chau zo
Aw ka Lal Isu min silfai rawh

Thihna hnehtu Lalpa Isu
He lei hringnun ka thlarau lei taksa
Aw i chhandam famkim chu min entir rawh

Aw Lal Isu nangmah chu rinchhanin
I chhandamna chu beisei in ka lo kir e
Nangin min silfai leh ta che Isu
Ka khawlohna zawng zawng chu phurin
I hnenah ka rawn in hlan e.

Ka zinna kawng thlaler hmun khawhar

Mi chim lungngaih tahna ten
Sualna hliam chu tuarin nun a lo chau zo
Aw ka Lal Isu min silfai rawh

Thihna hnehtu Lalpa Isu
He lei hringnun ka thlarau lei taksa
Aw i chhandam famkim chu min entir rawh

Aw Lal Isu nangmah chu rinchhanin
I chhandamna chu beisei in ka lo kir e
Nangin min silfai leh ta che Isu
Ka khawlohna zawng zawng chu phurin

Ka dawn thin ka sulhnu leh nunhlui
Aw ka Lalpa i hmuh loh reng a awm lo
I hnen ata ka vak bo ka nun chawl lovin

Mahse Isu min kalsan suh
Lungchhira simin ka thinlung

Ka zawng zawngin ka rawn in hlan e
Aw i chhandam famkim chu min entir rawh

Aw Lal Isu nangmah chu rinchhanin
I chhandamna chu beisei in ka lo kir e
Nangin min silfai leh ta che Isu

He lei hringnun hi a chau thin tui halin
Aw ka tisa hian a ngai thin che Isu
He khawvel zawng lungngaia tahna mai maw
Lung minhnemtu ka vai si thin

Ka nun khawharin a rum thin Isu
Aw min kai ang che aw Isu

Aw Lal Isu nangmah chu rinchhanin

Nangin min silfai leh ta che Isu
Ka khawlohna zawng zawng chu phurin
I hnenah ka rawn in hlan e.
