KONKANI PALK GOLLOITA DUKHAM - Alfred Rose

Gharar galoi kalluk, amcher poddlo kalluk,
Geloi Anthony Mendes palkhacher ghalun kalluk,
Sonvsar dista kalluk, uzvadd asson kalluk
Khorench munxeachem jivit chintlear bhirankul kalluk.

Khotta somplo, tuka roddlo lok ozaranim,
Ansoitaloi, khevoitaloi mogall utranim,
Bhurgheank tujeam polleun Mendes, dhukham bhorlim amcheam dolleamnim,
Konkani palk aiz roddta tuka dhukhanim.

Orteam xegunacho, moipaxi utrancho,
Fokot chalis ani tin vorsanche idadicho,
Porzoll amchea palkhacho, sogleamcheach mogacho,
Aiz lhan tosso vhodd roddta ugdassuch kadun tuzo.

Tuje oslo,anink dusro, sodlear meuchonam,
Kunvor amcho, foler tumcho, anink disschonam,
Artivont tho, umedvont tho, anink amkam tho ansoumchonam,
Sasnank nidlo, uttounk ghelear kedinch utchonam.

Xin koria konacher, xin koria Devacher,
Nam axea nam porot dissi mhun tum hea palkhacher,
Odruxt ailem tujer, odruxt noxibacher,
Gheloi auchituch ghavo ghalun sogleamchea kalzacher.

Poilench 'picture' kadlem ami tem AMCHEM NOXIB,
Konank lagon fankarlem zait tem AMCHEM NOXIB,
Mendes amche modem jieunk, tevuim zalear AMCHEM NOXIB,
Mendes bhurghech, ponninch moronk, tenvuim AMCHEM NOXIB.
