KUWAITCHE GOENKAR - Jerry Cal's song.

After my last write-up on Jerry Cal and his excellent song he rendered in Goa on invasion of Kuwait 18 years back, many readers of goa.kranti requested me to reproduce that full song in this forum. Upon my request, composer and singer Jerry Cal from Abu Dhabi sent this song to me which I indicated here below. Jerry Cal in this song shows his regret on people especially on those who enjoyed our benefits and criticised us. In view of this, even after 18 years of invasion of Kuwait we the real lovers of Kuwait from where we earn our sustenance must reject and oppose all and everyone who deserted us after enjoying our benefits. If we are real sons and real daughters of our real fathers then we will reject everyone who showed his deslike for us during the time of our sufferings. Kuwait is our bread and we must be grateful for this country. Because of Kuwait many of us got identity in life and respect in society. Let us show our solidarity with Kuwait by rejecting everyone who kept a distance from us during the time of invasion of Kuwait and also every project of those who showed their deslike for us during the invasion of Kuwait.

KUWAITCHE GOENCAR

Korench kalliz dhukan roddlem, Kuwait Goencarank kitem ghoddlem
Auchitt noxibant tanchea, poieat kotta, Zoglaunem marlem voddlem

Kiteak dhonia tuvem, noxibeant tanchea boroilelem oslem

(Chorus)

Ponchvis tis vorsam, Kuwait kam corun, goencar Goeam ieunk chintale
Zaitench kam korun, kitem mevta tem gheun, kuxal jieunk sodtale
Auchit chitnam tanchim varear uboun ghelim, dhonia ukodd tuje dolle
Kitem vait tanchem dislem, konnak nirminakaim oslem, magtam tuje kodde

Auchit Kuwait ghodbod zaun, sabar zannache halawal zalet

Korench te kalliz naslole, lokancheo vostu passun gheun ghelet
Poieat kitle bhau amche, soglench Kuwait soddun, xekhim goeam paulet

(Chorus)

Kuwaitcheam geancarin cancer hospitalak, zaite dudu dadlele
Konknichea velar,tosench martyrranchea fundak, lakhani dudu patoile

Kuwaitche goencar munon lokh, Goeam tenkam bottam dakoitat
Tanchem jevlem khal'lole munis poieat aiz tenkam varear uboitat
Korench the Goeam etalet mun, goemcar dhonde choloitat
Anik te Kuwait vechenam, tanche lagim dudu meunchena,

(Chorus)

Goencar don paut fottoule, tisre pautt fottouna zaunk aum magtam,
Ekdam Arikache dadlele, atam Kuwaitche ailet, kalzant taun aum khountoutam
Tumchea ghamache dudu, Goa xarant daddat, pordeshant dori nakat
Tumchea koxtanchem ek ghor, Goeam xarant bhandunk, tumi visronakat
Kuwait xanti zaun tumi porte vochounk, haunv deva lagim magtam.
