This is a mother deer's lament for her child. She warns the child not to go down to the land of the Khasi (Northwest India) for fear it will be killed. Khasi is of the Mon-Khmer language stock. I learned it from Mrs. George Allen, who is herself a Khasi.
Ko lapalang phrang sngi jong nga
Kum bating shein u mankara
Ha ba na nga kin rem me khlad
Do hnud sngew sih nga im suh sadh.
Wo la shet ka tieh pong deng
Y ka minsem u kinremreng
Wo la kjit u nam sarang
Y ka minsem u lapalang.
