The wrist tying is coming

Sgaw and Pwo are gathering together

From many remote places

To celebrate in their beautiful traditional clothes.

Oh Karen People, do not be divided.

If we do not respect and preserve our traditional culture and literature,

They will be lost one day.

No matter the religion, Buddhist or Christian, young or old,

The Karen’s affairs are the responsibility of all Karen, with the same aim and heart.

Once a year when tying wrists in the full moon night,

We will come together happily calling on each others souls.

Original composition by Sain Tin Aye, performed by "Golden Pestle" 2005.
