Jivit Novem ( A life anew)

Jivit Novem ( Life anew) a Poignant story in a song with Mando overtones. A story of love that did not hold, the vows before the Altar, once steadfast in our land, now broken by the dozen, Is it the influence of the West? or the modernity of excessive leisure and pleasure. Our ancestors taught us, to absorb the good in others and Not the bad or their vices. Last thing, we need in our land is "The family of Steps" step son, step daughter, step moms(ha). A song welded in today's reality. Our Church has to get involved!!

Fullam gevun eilo
you came with flowers
Hath hathan geilo
you held my hands
Kazarachem utor dilem
you gave me the word to marry
Ravonknam fatti
without hesitation
Korun soggleo ratti
Rokdench kazar amchem zalem
we were married in a hurry
Vor’ran velem ghara
years went home
Muinne zatoch bhara
after twelve months
Devan bhurgem favo kelem
God blessed us with child
Dusro baba zatoch
when second child was born
Pordesant vetoch
you went abroad
Noko konnem tujer kallem kup gallem
I don't know who cast black eyes
~Chorus
Toddoch temp tum mhojea gopan aslo
for a short time you were in my arms
Toddech dis tum dolleam mukhar dislo
for few days you were in my sight
Noko konnachea pageran tum guslo
I have no clue on which web you were fooled
Gomlem koro mog tunven korunk naslo
I understood you didn't love me truly
Phone tunven kele
You phoned me
Rekad daddun dile
you sent me your regards
Vatt apli maka dhi munn soddun
you told me to forgot you
Divorce magon getlo
you asked for divorce
Munno koxi zatlo
you will be happy
Jivitantlo kantto kaddun
removing the thorn from your life
Jivit kelem ritem
I made my life orderly
Fuddlem mhojem kitem
what will be my future now
Chintunknam tujea monan addun
you did not give any thought
Altaramukhar khas
before the altar
Mogan dilli bhas
we lovingly gave our vows
Panch vorsam modem uddoili toddun
within five years we broke our vows
Todde dis dislem maka sonvsar naka
for a few days I didn't want this world
Todde dis loz disli tondd dakhounk loka
for few days I was ashamed to show my face to folks
Dukh zavunknam tunven sodlem munn maka
You did not feel any pain leaving me behind
Punn lhan bhurgeank soddunk koxem putvollem tuka
but how could you leave behind two little kids
Hath duvun gelo
you washed your hands off
Mhojer tunven gallo
you left it to me
Dhog lhan bhurgeancho pez khandar
two little kids on my shoulder
Noko koxe kadle
I didn't know how I spent
Dis te fudle
the days ahead
Konnachoch maka naslo adar
there was no help from anybody
Zala kuim tum kazar
you married somebody else
Zodta zaite hozar
you are earning in thousands
Dusreataim tunven kela fuddar
you made your future with some else
Hanv nam re dukhi
I am not sad
Assam sukhi
I am happy too
Mhojeim jivit aiz hanven kelam muddar
My life I have changed for the better
Rostear ami poddonknam sodlim munnon tunvem
We did not fall on the streets because you left us
Zaitem sukh aiz dekhlam hanvem
I have seen again lot of happiness now
Bhurgim mhojim girestkai assa mhoje sovem
my children are my treasures, they are with me
Tankam gevun suru Kortam aiz jivit Novem
with them I am starting my life anew
