The song is a poignant poetic well loved folk song. The ingellei is a wildflower that grows only in the hills and jungle. The translation goes something (and poorly) (if anyone can post some translated lyrics it would be greatly appreciated) like this. The song is a conversation between the person and the flower. A person walking along a trail sees the ingellei flower that has fallen to the ground. She laments that no one is able now to see the beauty of this flower, that was once in full bloom, and is now withering. The flower then speaks ups, saying that is is not their fault, they did not choose to fall from the branch, it was the wind blowing strongly that caused it to break from its nurturing plant. Then suddenly the wind itself joins the conversation. "No no, don't blame me", for it was your flowering and blooming, and you ran your course, this is why you have fallen... The song ends like this.

I love artists like her who don't do things for name and fame but to conserve and bring forth our folk music and tradition. She's angelic! Definitely love her. Her songs always touch me and I always get goosebumps 🖤🖤

I am not Meitei but I really like Mangka's songs. This particular one - "Unadulterated authentic Meitei traditional music". The peena and her voice flows together so smoothly. I presume this is live recording in the woods, which is rare in today's world of music. Mangka is a great singer, she will definitely go a long way, not just in Manipur but internationally. I like her traditional hairdo of the Khamba Thoibi era. According to my observation, I have a strong believe that Meitei and Thai (People of Thailand) have common history; the traditional tunes and dance forms have so much similarity.

It is believe d that meeteis originated from the border of Myanmar and thailand called moi tay
