Leikhamang zongh simthu siam sa’ng,
Simlei tamlai, Simlei tamlai;
Puamsak lawm, puamsak lawm aw e,
Simlei tam lai puamsak e lawm;
Tuansang min bang, tuan sang min bang thumsak,
Thuumsak lawm aw, thuumsak lawm aw e.

The queen of the white ants is clever
It can raise a mould from a flat surface
It can make the mould produce a noise.

– From Folk Songs of The Paite (1989) by H. Kamkhenthang
