Xitt Koddi ( Fish Curry rice) A soulful music vid on
our most favored, staple food that bonds all Goans together and honored with a song. There was once a Goan poet Bakibab Borker, let me praraphrase his quote " Oh!! not today, Angel of Death, I have fish curry for my dinner".
The song has lilting flow with peasants taking a break for Xitt Koddi under the shade.

Chorus
Sogleanche ruchichi
Everyone find tasty
Amchi Xit Koddi
Our fish curry rice
Donparam vo ratchi
in the afternoon or night
Amkam zai amchi Xit Koddi
we need our fish curry rice
Ghodyellar vaztoch bara
when the clock strikes twelve
Asot tu kaamank vo ghara
whether at home or at work
Bhuken potan godgod zata
the stomach churns with hunger
Amcho jevnacho vell zala
Its time for our lunch
Monn amchem lagona
our mind is restless
Kaam korunk umedd na
there is no will to work
Dollear kallok yeta dista
Our eyes are clouded in darkness
Potant jevonn podonastana
without food in our stomach
Ch
Asot tu kuichea dhorman
whatever be our religion
Goenkarponn asa amchea rogtann
Our Goaness is in our blood
Soglo sonvsar zogdonn morta
the whole world may be in turmoil and fight
Amchem jevonn amkam ektaita
Our food habit units us.
