  • Abstract:
  • The indigenous Mising Kabaan or the songs of lamentations are the expressions of sorrows and grief, commonly sung by a deserted lover at the time of death or separation. These are sung solely by women only to achieve consolation while in the field or fishing or weaving, however in the modern times it is widely sung by all genders. Translation of these folk songs from the source language to the target language are slightly difficult due to the cultural and linguistical barriers.
