Dance My Love

Dance my love dance
Don’t make a crying face
Dance while there is noise
Don’t shy away
No one is watching you
It is a hot summer

Dance my love dance
Your children are always hungry
There is not a leaf of grass left in our garden
Have some faith in our hunger
Don’t stop dancing
On the streets of Imphal
No one is around you.
Move just as you want
Even if your hip is not oval

Smile my love smile
It doesn’t matter if you cry too
But smile.
Tear and sweat taste the same
Tear is for me
Sweat is for you
These complete our lives

Dance my love dance
I am cooking for you
I am making the bed for you
Come with your smile
Don’t come with brimming eyes
