Silent Night! (Zan re lai)

Pu L.Keivom 

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
-Joseph Mohr

A phuok hun le a phuok dan chanchin hi hril dan hrang hrang um sien, a chanchin tlangpui nia an hril chu ngainuom a um kher el. Chu chu a tawi thei ang takin hang hril ei tih. Kum 1815 khan Europe ram chokbuoitu Napoleon an man hnungin Europe-a thruoitu lien po po chu Vienna-ah inkhawmpui neiin Europe ram um dan ding an rel a, chu taka an thuthlung zam chu Treaty of Vienna Convention ti a nih.
