After some time I've finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again to tell her I love her
And I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done

           Nia, mi pangngai tan chuan pan ngam a ni tawh lo reng a ni. Ka mi zawn chu vawiin hian kumkhuaa midang ta ni tawh turin a inbuatsaih mek a, kei ngei pawh chumi a tel tura chhuak ka ni a, mahse chumi hmun lam pan tur chuan chakna reng ka nei si lo.

I find her standing in front of the church

The only place in town where I didn't search

She looks so happy in her weddingdress

But she's crying while she's saying this

           A hmel mawina leh a duhawmnate chu a la pangngai reng a, mawi belh chuan ngaihna a awm si lo. Kawt zawl a rawn kal lai chuan mi rawn melh zauh ka hmu a, a rawn hawi zui lo. A rawn hnai zel a, Biakin a luh dawn meuh chuan ka insum zo ta lo.

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is

Twenty five minutes too late

Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are

Twenty five minutes too late

Against the wind I'm going home again

Wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends

Out in the streets

Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat

Inside my head

Still I can hear the words she said

Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is

Twenty five minutes too late

Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are

Twenty five minutes too late
