Collegik xiktana mog tuzo khalzzak vadllo
while we were studying in college my love for you grew
fudaracho sangatin tuka vichhun khadlo
I chose you as my life's partner
noxibacho parvo tum untin podlo
my fate's dove , you fell on my lap
hatak hath dorun Igorche panvdde chodllo
holding our hands we climbed the footsteps of our church
chorus:
voros poti zallen gelleak pordesan
A year has gone by when my hubby went abroad
ek ek minute sartan tujeach ugdassan
every minute I spend thinking of you
Igorjen bhas dilleli jieun sangatan
we gave our word in the Church to live together
vegin Goem eai dhorun axetan tukach gopant
Come to Goa soon, I yearn to hold you in my embrace
khazar jaune pondra dissan pordasan ghelloi
after marriage within 15 days you went overseas
vocchon paim uklonem punn vocchun podta muntaloi
I could not lift my legs but was force to go, he would say
adeus kortana vegan mhaka dhukani rodloi
he bid me tearful adeus while holding me in his embrace
porto vegin eaun khalliz mhojem khallzak melloi
come home again soon and lay my heart against yours
\ch
ugddasan poti tujea mhoje ulhas sodtam
thinking of you my husband, I sigh in sadness
chiiteche vatte polluen hanv sentiment khadtam
I wait sentimentally for your letters to arrive
chittik vell zalear sogllech hanv chitnani poddtam
if there is delay in letters I become anxious
khallzak dukh khallzak dorun dhukani rodtam
Keeping my sorrows in my heart I weep silently.
