(A humble tribute to civilians who were killed in the Operation Bluebird)
Operation Bluebird wreaked havoc the hills
The serene hills of Oinam was shaken
The terror was unleash and horror haunt
Draped with shawls men carry in tears
Shoulders to shoulders, step by step
Struggled through the slippery paths
From thick jungles dared the fall
They carry the lifeless bodies
Home they brought their comrades
Children cried, wives wept
Villagers and comrades deeply mourned
With full honour in best tradition
With deepest loss, they bury you
You names remain
Beyond graves, you live on
Leaving behind the legacy
The legacy of supreme sacrifice
The legacy of heroic endurance
The legacy of courage and love
You have given your best
The best for the rest of your people
You remain an epitome of Inspiration
Yesterday you laid down your lives
For our better today and Tomorrow
To you! We give our respect
To You! We give our honour
To You! We pay our tribute
You are fondly remembered
Always!
