Omugha (Your Luck)

Omugha

 Oishe! Oghoshi, Oloshi

Tishe tiye shie.

Nono muzu aye,

Olomino sakiche ju aloino alo.

Nono tughu aye, Olomino pite

Chejupuqho, chejupiqhi tsala phi wolo.

Tinhe mugha ye ghochile nicheke,

Timi xuye pechile mulae.

Hino omugha ye,

Omulo, muku haye lo.

Mehouviu and Morusa  is a Naga folktale. The story is about a young girl, Mehouviu, and a young warrior, Morusa, who lived in different villages. Long ago there was once a girl name Mehouviü. She was the wisest maiden of her village. Added to that blessing, she possessed a very pleasing personality. There were many young men in her village who courted her, but she felt that she was not ready to take any one of them as husband.   Morusa was a famous warrior of Kidima .

  According to a Chang (Naga) legend, there once lived a girl by the name, Momola. One day, her mother took her fishing. Both tried their best but could not catch even a single fish.

At last, Momola was given to the river, and the water level normalized. It was believed that when the water rose to its height, all the living creatures gathered at Mount Ngakushon, Mount Yengni and Mount Longshon respectively.  After the water normalized, Momola's mother went in search of her daughter. She came across two big fish, and to her surpri...
