Rose-Apple gatherers

 သေျပသီးေကာက္
၀ါဆို၀ါေခါင္ ေရေတြၾကီးလို႕
သေျပသီးမွည့္ ေကာက္စို႕ကြယ္။
ခရာဆူးခ်ံဳ ဟိုအထဲက
ေမွ်ာ့နက္မည္းၾကီး တြယ္တတ္တယ္။
ေမွ်ာ့နက္ဆိုတာ ခ်ိဳနဲ႕လားကြဲ႕
ေျမြနဂါးေတာင္ ေၾကာက္ဘူးကြယ္။
တို႕လည္းေၾကာက္ေပါင္ အတူသြားစို႕
အုန္းလက္ႏြားေလး ထားခဲ့မယ္။
သြားကြယ္ ၊ သြားကြယ္။

    Rose-Apple gatherers
July,August-rain and flood-
Let's go pick the ripe rose-apple.
Hi! Take care! In thorns and mud,
That's where big, black leeches grapple.
Leeches? Pah! The hornless thing!
I'll fight snakes or serpent-kings.
Who's afraid? Let's all go now.
Come on! Come on!
