Hada Shamaton ayangba, Marjing laigi khunet sha Heingang chingda khupham ya Yanggoiriba lang-goi sha Kouge nangbu ching lemba Sagal tuphang lamba sha

O Hada Shamaton Ayangba, Mount of Lord Marjing Choosing Heingang Hill as your abode, your chosen place. Let me call you Ching Lemba, the graceful animal that once had wings.

Hawai thangpak phoidatlu Mipok mihing thingjallu Adungei ashibana Samatonbu tharakkhiba Malem ase karamno Leisem nungshem yaoraroi Atiyana semkhiba Khoyum khoiji nungdagi Chingu Marjing thoithoibana Samatonbu phakhiba Nate nangdi pot punaba Nate lourang suba sha Huyen lansok mayok shani lamjel khurup yangba sha

To uproot the sword beans and halt the destruction of creation, Lord Asheeba had once sent Shamaton. To put a stop to what had befallen the earth, No creation of life would have been possible. Then Lord Atiya Sidaba brought forth a rope from his navel So Marjing could lasso and capture Shamaton. You are not a beast of burden, nor animal for plowing fields. You are for fighting on battlefields, oh animal of great speed!

Arambaigi khutsuna Meitei na awabu ngamkhiba 53 Langgoi nanggi napanna Lanngam phiral thetkhiba Khunung seisak seirolda Ngashi phaoba seithari

With the help of the weapon known as Arambai (thrown dart) the Meitei warriors defeated the king at Ava (Mandalay). O riding animal with your help the flag of victory was flown. The story is narrated in ballads to this very day.

Nangbu tongna chingnguna Sagol kangjei sanaba Khoyum laigi haktaktei Ngashi phaoba kaidari Malem sinna khangkhiba Meitei sagol napalni ha

The Gods played the first polo games riding on your back. From antiquity till today, the tradition is kept alive. Oh Salgol, the Manipur pony. The noble game of polo is know around the world because of you.

Yoibu yohen talliba Sanou naha pangganba Nungshibiyu sagolbu Thoujanbiyu makhoibu Sagol kangjei yokkhatsi Mingchat urong khillammu

O valiant youths of today, striving for personal success. Please love the ponies, care for them be kind and protect them. Toward this aim let us encourage and promote Polo and make it immortal for all time.
