Lyrics of the song Tokhu Khen:

Oh' Tokhu shilo eroeden
Potsow nzan salum nte piala
Nchung Tokhu shilo lum motsa/motsunga tsoe
Lum yanta khumshumtavkalo

Tokhu lum yanta Tokhu
Sukhying mmha sothe Tokhu
Meria khumshumtavka roalo
Nchung Kyong Tokhu shilo

Yimtong shilo loroe oh' thera tssovo,
Echum theraro ena sayile
Oh' emungthi oh' khyingroe jiang jo
Rhujung hanpong to chanche kana

Tokhu nzanta Tokhu,
Khyingtarata Tokhu,
Meria khumshumtavka roalo
Nchung kyong Tokhu shilo.

........* Tokhu nzanta Tokhu
Sukhying mmha sothe Tokhu
Meria khumshumtavka roalo
Nchung kyong Tokhu shilo

Oh' yimtong shilo eramoe jiang
Enzanile to randanta ne
Oh' ovon tssovo oh' vonlan taro
Oh' khvurota ne panyiangden

Tokhu nlansita Tokhu
Khyingta rata Tokhu
Meria khumshumtavka roalo
Nchung Kyong Tokhu shilo
