"The intention of this work was to collect songs that I heard sung as a child by my mother, and those sung in the evenings in our local Goan community in my town in Mozambique. These songs had a simple musical structure and their melodies were always on my mind. Goa, Daman and Diu were our overseas provinces until 1961 and there still exists a significant Portuguese cultural tradition. These songs have remained with us and I decided to record them with more up-to-date musical arrangements, while still preserving the original root for our future generations, so that they should not lose our beautiful musical tradition. Here is SHANGRI-LA GOA - I hope you enjoy it!" - Gonzaga Coutinho
Lyrics (English translation follows):
Hanv saiba poltoddi voitam
Damulea lognak vetam
Mhaka saiba vattu dakhoi, mhaka saiba vattu kolona
Damulea mattuvantu kolvontancho khellu
Damulea mattuvantu kolvontancho khellu
Aga mhojea taria mama, aga mhojea taria mama
Amkam voron pavoi poltoddi, voi poltoddi
Ghe, ghe ghe ghe ghe, ghe ga saibha
Mhaka naka go, mhaka naka go
Voilea voilea dongrar udoku kongrem
Udoku kongrem zalear, kolvontu mogrem
Aghe nari tujea nakantulim noti, naka sori
Aghe nari tujea paeantuli paizona paieam sori
Choiaire, choiaire, hanv dekni nachotam.
Hanv saiba poltoddi voitam,
Damulea lognak vetam
Mhaka saiba vattu dakoi, mhaka saiba vattu kolona
Damulea mattuvantu kolvontamcho khellu
Damulea mattuvantu kolvontamcho kellu
Aga mojea tarya mama, aga mojea tarya mama
Mhaka voron pavoi Sirodia, ai Sirodia.
Ghe, ghe ghe ghe ghe, ghe ga saibha
Mhaka naka go, mhaka naka go
Hanv saiba poltoddi voitam
Damulea lognak vetam
Mhaka saiba vattu dakoi, mhaka saiba vattu kolona

"I'M CROSSING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER"
Oh, to the other side I'm crossing
I'm going to Damu's wedding
Show me the route, I pray
For I do not know the way
In the tent of Damu's wedding,
The dancing girls are playing
In the tent of Damu's wedding
The dancing girls are playing
Take it, take, take, take it sir, oh!
No, I don't want, I don't want it, oh no!
This nose ring from my nose, please take it, sir!
These anklets from my feet, do take them, go!
Look, look I'm dancing the Dekni dance
Oh, to the other side I'm crossing
I'm going to Damu's wedding
Show me the route, I pray
For I do not know the way
In the tent of Damu's wedding
the dancing girls are playing
In the tent of Damu's wedding
the dancing girls are playing
Oh my uncle boatman, oh my uncle boatman
Please take me to Shiroda, yes to Shiroda
Take it, take, take, take it sir, oh!
No, I don't want, I don't want it, oh no!
Oh, to the other side I'm crossing
I'm going to Damu's wedding
Show me the route, I pray
For I do not know the way
