Lyrics

Mewek mewek Mi’koa salgin Kosako
(Mewek mewek birds are chirping above the house)

Mewek mewek bilsota nangni sarako
(Mewek mewek the bird flies across your courtyard)

Sokgipa sokbaenga nangni nokona
(Visitors are coming to your house)

Name dake rimchakna tarisoboda
(Prepare well to receive your guests)

Mewek mewek Mi’koa salgin Kosako
(Mewek mewek birds are chirping above the house)

Mewek mewek bilsota nangni sarako
(Mewek mewek the bird flies across your courtyard)

Jasuna chi onsobo nang doga Samo
(Keep water near the doorstep to wash guests’ feet)

Onpabo nama rama asongchakpana
(Make them sit at a proper place)

Mewek mewek Mi’koa salgin Kosako
(Mewek mewek birds are chirping above the house)

Mewek mewek bilsota nangni sarako
(Mewek mewek the bird flies across your courtyard)

Matchu chara densobo jengo gatako
(Prepare the young bull and cook for the guest)

Merong jaha songsobo simildingdingko
(Cook the special dish - joha rice)

Mewek mewek Mi’koa salgin Kosako
(Mewek mewek birds are chirping above the house)

Mewek mewek bilsota nangni sarako
(Mewek mewek the bird flies across your courtyard )

Galda Do’po songsobo namen chato’e
(Cook tasty chicken with sorrel(sour) leaves)

Me’seng me’seng tobe’e onbone sae
(Serve the delicious sour curry )

Mewek mewek Mi’koa salgin Kosako
(Mewek mewek birds chirping above the house)

Mewek mewek bilsota nangni sarako
(Mewek mewek the bird flies across your courtyard)
