Portuguese Song

Hoje em dia é...

Hoje em dia é, 

Difícil encontrar alguém

Que nos dê a mão, 

que nos faça ir mais além

Ter um amigo, 

 É ter Cristo dentro de nós

Podes contar comigo, 

Q'esta amizade irá ter voz


Ter um amigo, alguém comigo

Alguém com quem sempre possa contar

Viver a vida, com esse amigo

Ter tanta coisa para partilhar

Um amigo é um tesouro

Que guardo dentro de mim

Fica comigo, sou teu amigo

Juntos iremos viver a vida assim,

Juntos iremos viver a vida assim.


Se a vida é, 

Algo que te faz pensar

Tens que encontrar alguém, 

Com quem tu possas contar

É tão bom sentir 

Esse Cristo que nos vem falar

E então seguir 

Pela estrada fora a cantar…

Konkani Dulpods

(to singalong)

Choltam, choltam zali maka rati,

Lokot zokhot varem marun gheli mhoji diuli…

Hanv saiba poltodi vetam, damulea lognak vetam

Maka saiba vattu dakoi, maka saiba vattu kollona (2)

Damulea mattvantu kolvontancho khellu

Damulea mattvantu kolvontancho kellu

Aga mojea tarya mama, aga mojea tarya mama

Damulea mattvantu kolvontancho khellu

Damulea mattvantu kolvontancho kellu

Ghe ghe ghe ghe ghe, ghe ga saiba,

Maka naka gho, maka naka gho.

Ghe ghe ghe ghe ghe, ghe ga saiba,

Maka naka gho, maka naka gho.

Him Mojea nakantuli noti ghe ga saiba,

Maka naka gho, maka naka gho

Him mojim paintlim painzonna ghe gha saiba….

Maka naka gho, maka naka gho….

Choi ai re, choi ai re, hanv dekhni nachotam

Choi, choi, choi, Choi ai re, choi ai re, hanv dekhni nachotam.

Undra mojea mama, ani hanv sangtam tuca

Tea majorichea pilea lagim, khell mandunaca...

Undir mama ailo, ani pette pondak liplo

Ani mozorichea pilan taca ek ghansan khailo...

Dongui Sezani, Zhogoddtai sanni futteani (2)
