VERSE 1
Khua cuan hmanh law,
come, behold this sacred place.
Tlang nih kulh maw,
Embraced by mountains, nature's grace.
Nichuah lei in, ni thlak lei tiang
From the east's first light to the sun's gentle rest
Van Bawi Dawtnak a lang
The love of God unfolds.
Jerusalem thar ram iang ai mu
Oh how it foreshadows the place called New Jerusalem
Nunphung cuang hlei,
By embodying the divine tradition
Khrihfa nun khin,
The Divine Tradition of Christianity
Ram dawh, ram rem an ven
This enchanting place is safeguarded.
(Chorus)
Hi tlang, ram dawh ah hin
Upon this mountain, a haven so fair,
Thangthat hla dawh
The Lord's song, a melody divine,
Kan sa rih lai,
Evermore, our voices shall echo
Kan miphun nih
By our people
Jerusalem thar, Kan phak hlan tiang
Until until the New Jerusalem's gate, we enter
Pathian pek mi ram ah,
For this land (Chinland) is bestowed to us by God
VERSE 2
Hung cuanh hmanh law,
May your gaze wander beyond this place,
(Hi Hlei ah)
Other than this
ram nuam um maw
is there any happier realm?
An iang kho lo,
No place can outshine this place,
Khua za kip ah
Because In every corner,
Pathian biaktheng an dirh
God's temples find their place.
Hmuh ka cim lo, zoh ka cim lo
Captivated by its beauty, my eyes unable to quench their gaze,
Thlang lei ral lian nih hung doh hna mu
From the down under, a mighty force descends to fight,
Kan biaktheng le nunphung hlonh an timh
Intent on shattering our temples and cultures
Hmanhseh, Hmanhseh, Pathian kan lei a dir
Yet, God is on our side
(Chorus)
Hi tlang, ram dawh ah hin
Thangthat hla dawh
Kan sa rih lai,
Kan miphun nih
Jerusalem thar
Kan phak hlan tiang
Pathian pek mi ram ah,
Khua za um chinmi phun, An hung tho cang
Chin people unitedly arose from every land,
Vailam lawng dirh ding, Chin Ram Chung ah
Striving for only the cross to stand firmly in our cherished place.
Chun mang an manh,
A dream they battle
Mang kau an doh
Against the malevolent forces, they contend
Mang Bawi, kan bawm an ti
Pleading with God, their hearts transcend.
(Bridge 1)
Zai hla in thluai ning,
May I sing with songs, melodies profound,
Kan nunphung thei hna seh
To share our culture and values so they know.
Tefa chan tiang khin
I wonder, will the next generation hold,
Chinram an daw te hnga maw?
The love for this place Chinland?
Dawtnak in phuang nih
May I proclaim with love, a message to share,
Kan Biakmi theih hna seh
So they may know our God, beyond compare.
Pathian ti lo cun,
Without this God, in whom we intertwine
Zumh ding dang um lo
No other god to be believed
(Bridge 2)
Thisen in tial mi
A tale written in blood
Kan tuanbia thei hna seh
May the next generation remember those tales
Chun zan ti hin lo,
Beyond the notion of day and night,
Ram vengtu an mitthli cu
The tears of patriot unfold.
Khua le ram caah Ka mitthli tla ko seh,
For this nation and kingdom, let my tears flow,
Pathian pek mi, Ram dawh a si.
A gift from God, this land, so captivatingly mellow
(REPEAT CHORUS)
