They call you an animal, the Kangchenjunga Demon, Wild Man, Metoh Kangmi
Lying in my tent, I can hear your cry echoing round the mountainside
You sound lonely
While crossing the Lhakpa La something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak we found footprints in the snow
The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said he saw you by the Tengboche Monastery
You were playing in the snow You were banging on the doors
You got up on the roof, Roof of the World
You were pulling up the rhodedendrons Loping down the mountain
They want to know you They will hunt you down, then they will kill you
Run away, run away, run away
While crossing the Lhakpa La something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak we found footprints in the snow
We found your footprints in the snow We brushed them all away
From the Sherpas of Annapurna to the Rinpoche of Qinghai
Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh found footprints in the snow
You’re not a langur monkey nor a big brown bear You’re the Wild Man
They say they saw you drowned near the Rongbuk Glacier
They want to hunt you down You’re not an animal
The Lamas say you’re not an animal
