Tine Thi Bar Ye Mere-za-lee pin pyo aut
Paut par dae shwe ta-mar
Khar chat ka nar;
Yay see yere ta khar
Yay thar yere ta hlaet,
Thu myar lo dou ma yine dere
Tine thi bar ye.
Sayar Zaw Gyi.
The Whole World Knows
Under the young Mere-zalee plant,
Ta-mar has to grow
Therefore, the bitterness has outgrown;
When there is an up tide
Down tide will also flow,
Unlike them, our morality is not too low
And the whole world knows.
translated by Moon
Note: Mere-zalee and Ta-mar are the local plants prevelant in Burma known for their bitter taste.
