Hna yauk hte nay gin de

Translation of the chorus of a famous Burmese song by the late Sayagyi U Ba Kyi (Artist, Teacher, Institute of Education ):

Darling
Only two we will live dear
On the high crest
Of the Mount Everest
And the Sahara Desert
Driest without water
To the North Pole
May be freezing cold
Where the sun will never never grow
With all my heart and soul
Only two darling We will go
