They call you an animal The Kanchenjunga 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 We saw you by the Tengboche monastery You were playing in the snow You were banging on the doors You climbed up on the roof Roof of the world You were pulling up the rhododendrons Loping down the mountains
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 drown In the Rongbuk glacier
They want to hunt you down You’re not an animal The lamas say You’re not an animal
