Love in St. Estevam A sonorous love ballad in Konkani. The
voice is supposedly AI generated but our Konkani sounds sublime, wish we could sound this way. and oozing with romance and If you grew up in a village or perhaps vacationed there, this lyrics grips you back down the memory lane. the fields you played, the hills you climbed and teenage love you shared with pretty village damsel.And that unforgettable dance at the village feast (festak) at night and you wished it will never dawn..

Love in St. Estevam
Mogan ami podlim ganvchea, festa disa
We fell in love on village feast day
Sobit anglem ghalun porkench aslem, kas bandun Lasa
a lovely dress seemed like a foreigner with hair tied to a ribbon
Padri sermanv sango, monn naslem misak
the Priest was on to his sermon, but our mind was not into it
Disso tujeruch moga, nodor thi ghalpak.
I could not resist gazing at you
Chorus
Yeo moga ghot dor maka, dakoitam ganv vo amcho.
Come my love, hold me tight, I will show our village
Zaddam peddam, dongor xettam,
filled with trees plants, hills and fields
noyani guspailoh .
and nestled by the lake
Sant esteu patron amchea ganvcho.
St Estevan is our patron saint
Magtam tuje lagim saiba, Mog vo feliz dovorcho.
I pray to keep our love always happy
Gopant ami ravon nachlim, ratchea thea dansa.
we danced in each others arms that night at teh village dance
Kalzam petlelim mogak, mago fante udenaka
Our hearts inflammed with love we prayed not for dawn
Jed'na boba lokancho nachonk, kumpasar musgachea.
when the noise of people dancing, in rhythm with the music
Tedna gupit mog amcho cholo bainkoden holachea.
while we made secret love in the well of the hall

Panvdde chodon ghelim dongrar, sanchea thea vellar
we climbed the foosteps to the hill, in the evening
Sopnam tenko molbak Sur'ya khello udka larar
our dreams touched the sky, while th sun played among the waves
Jurar ami zalim amchi nodor, ghalunt jezu kristar.
We made our vows, with our gaze on Our Lord Jesus Christ
Nanv ami kantoilem , bhoslyalea thea hodpar.
we engraved our name on the rock we reclined
