Peb Cov Hmoob (Karma)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Peb Cov Hmoob
Our Hmong
For our lost to people

es kuv cov neeg tau poob zoo tag nrhiav tsis tau txoj kev txog tsev
mus qhov twg peb hnov suab phom peb ua zoo li caj lawv nhriav tau peb
kuv pom lawv tej me nyuam saum rooj tsis muaj txiv, mus tua rog tag
kuv noog lub ntuj ua cas peb hmoob tsis muaj hmoo peb tiag li zoo li no
Hey my people have lost their way, they can't find their way back home
Wherever we go we hear gunshots, no matter what we do they find us
I see children in the mountains, no fathers, they're all at war
I ask the Lord why do we Hmong have no luck, why we end up like this
peb yuav ua li cas peb hmoob mag lawv tua ib yag peb yog tus tsiaj
peb yuav ua li cas ib hnub es peb thiaj li txog tsev
yog ib puas xyooj peb tseem yuav khiav txog hnub tws mas li txog tsev
es kuv xav ntsib kuv cov neeg hmoob lawv tuag tod teb chawv Nplog
What're we gonna do, us Hmong? They kill us as if we're animals
What're we gonna do, one day so we can go back home
A hundred years, we're still running to what day will we reach home
I wanna meet my people, Hmong--they are dying in Laos
es peb yuav ua li cas peb hmoob mag lawv tua ib yag peb yog tus tsiaj
peb yuav ua li cas peb hmoob mag lawv tua ib yag peb yog tus tsiaj
tsiaj, tsiaj, tsiaj
What're we gonna do, us Hmong? They kill us as if we're animals
What're we gonna do, us Hmong? They kill us as if we're animals
Animals, animals, animals
es kuv cov neeg tau poob zoo tag nrhiav tsis tau txoj kev txog tsev
ib puas xyooj peb tseem yuav khiav txog hnub tws mas li txog tsev
Hey my people have lost their way, they can't find their way back home
A hundred years we're still running To what day will we reach home
es kuv xav ntsib kuv cov neeg hmoob lawv tuag tod teb chawv Nplog
es kuv xav ntsib kuv cov neeg hmoob lawv tuag tod teb chawv Nplog
es kuv xav ntsib, es kuv xav ntsib es kuv xav ntsib kuv cov neeg lawv tuag
es kuv xav ntsib, es kuv xav ntsib kuv cov neeg lawv tuag tod teb chawv Nplog
I wanna meet my people, Hmong--they are dying in Laos
I wanna meet my people, Hmong--they are dying in Laos
I wanna meet, I wanna meet, I wanna meet my people that died
I wanna meet, I wanna meet my people that are dying in Laos
