Stray and tattered dogs

A flock of tattered dogs from neighbors brawl,
stray dogs join them and roar
forcefully together.
 
Meanwhile, my head is shaken
as if my heart is about to fall.
The surroundings boil from the hell-rumble.
 
Woken up from a midnight dream
I can no longer sleep.
 
I want to curse them: “be eaten by a tiger”,
but there are no more tigers in the city
no feline predator.

Thinking of going to hit them, I withdraw,
a neighbour.
The difficulty of stray and tattered dogs!

Htingbu gwi nawng gwi wa gwi ru
Gwi wam, gwi dam yawng hpu,
N-gun dat di wau
Ga-u di jahtau,
                                                     
Baw nu she gara
Masin she kahpra,
Nyeng ai ni nyeng
Majoi wau di kabreng,
 
Yup mung yup jang
Yup tung hta yup hprang, ra sai
                                                     
“Sharaw garawt na gwi ran ni”
Ngu matsa na ngu yang
Myo ga rai di sharaw n nga
Shanhte hpe kadai n la sha,
 
Sa abyen na ngu yang
Hku hkau lam hkra na tsang,
Yak gaw yak sai law
