Official Music Video of Tsa kha tiyo, a traditional Chokri Naga tune by Tetseo Sisters. From the debut album, Tetseo Sisters: Li - Chapter One: The beginning.

Lyrics in Chokri Naga (A Chakhesang tribal dialect):
Oo hi! Oo hi!
Doshe mori, do küda tele!

Oo hi. O ho hele.
Hele tsa kha ti yo, zho le rülé tiyo mo....rülé tiyo mo.
Oohi tsa kha ti yo, Oo hi.

Cejü hilü külhü tüce no,
Uphe u be püno do ti no yo she.

'Khüsatato... Khüsatato'


Translated in Chokri:
Practice makes perfect yet here is our humble attempt.
As you sow, so shall you reap! Tend to the earth and it will feed you.
In this life, we shall all toil and eat the fruits of our labour.
Use your hands and feet, to nurture and shape your destiny and legacy.
Watch the ants work in tandem, joyfully and earnestly. Everyday, through the seasons.
Learn your lesson from the foolish crickets that laze away while the sun shines and starve to death when winter comes.
Hear the birds, warning us with reminders. Time to sow, time to sow!
Even the song they sing says, "Lazybones starve to death."
