BY THE RIVER OF NAMVAN

By the River of Namvan
We sat our lairs
Drank booze to the gallons
Enjoying the fresh fish from the rivers
Roasted, fried and cooked to appease our appetites
Played guitar and sang by the camp firelights
Beneath the moonlight
 
Soul piercing songs sung by Chaoba and Amo
With the master guitar strokes and percussion by Justin and Michael
There we sat down
By the River of Namvan
 
The latter the night the higher the moon
The embers burning brighter than ever and reaching for the sky
What haunting song sung by Oyerishi in Tangkhul dialect in the dead of night
Oh! My! Must be the lullaby of the old
We wake up in the morning
Afresh with the tang of river air
By the River of Namvan
