- Sung by late Aleixinho de Candolim



I
Kallzan mojea fugar zata eok ghutt, mathear ghevn bonvtam xintimentancho

Panch vorsam zalim kazar zavn Bahrain gelear mozo put
Kiteak puta paichi korinaim sudh, konnem mhunn dili tuka osli budh
Ganvan bonvon bikh magtam puta pai tuzo hanv khudh

Chorus
Kitlo re puta Bahrainchea xaran khuxeal tum jietai
Panch vorsam zalim kazar zavn gelear dolleancher tum nietai
Punn hea tujea bhikari paik tum panch rupia dhaddunk bailek bhietai
Hanv vollvolltam pejechea nisak tum Brandy Rum pietai

II
Ekuch tum apurbaiechi zhor, xikop divn kelo puta tuka vhodd
Khandar marun dotoraxim voro hanv ailear tuka zor
Noko zalom bodlot mhunn rogtacho por, matharponnar dukh tuvem dili chodd
Tukai puta oxem ghoddot motin mat ugddas dhor

Chorus
Ugddass tuzo ietoch puta dot’torek paim lagonam
Dis bhor hanv bikh magtam punn pottachi bukh bagonam
Aiz mhaka toxench faleam tuka, dekun aiz kainch hanv mhunnonam
Borem zanv puta tujem hanv tuka vaitt magonam

III
Chintun puta zomnic lagonam paim, tuje xivai adhar naslo anik kaim
Sozmotalom tunch mhunn amchea dhir adharachi paind
Bodmas tum zatokuch amche thaim, rinnkareanim pinhor keli ghor ani bhaim
Tujea sintimentan kotta puta tuji moron geli maim

Chorus
Rupkar tuzo nialltuch kallzak dukh bhogta motti

Tum puta Bahrainchea xaran ozaranim zodd re Dinarancheo notti
Mhaka favo kelea puro Devan hi moji bhikechich kotti
Mhaka favo kelea puro Devan hi moji bhikechich kotti

His songs were based on day-to-day life. The following song though over
half a century old, is still famous because its lyrics are simply too good.
