The words are truly poetic and a far cry from the juvenile rhymes that masquerade as lyrics in contemporary Konkani songs. Perhaps someone could transcribe and even translate the lyrics for everyone to appreciate? I also know there was a controversy and court case regarding the ownership of the lyrics / tune. Has that been resolved? Cheers! Cecil =========== ---------------- To Goanet - Ulhas Buyao expressed his love for Goa during the height of the Opinion Poll crisis 40 years ago through his famous song - http://www.parrikar.org/misc/channeachya-raati.mp3 The female voice is one Gavaskar (I forget her first name). The lyrics are by Digu's confidante Uday Bhembre, now pen&tongue-tied as Goa is being taken to the knackers by his pals. Recording courtesy of Sidhanath Buyao. The audio quality is not very good and I haven't had the time to haul it to the digital laundry. The copy at AIR Panjim is as bad (both, I presume, are transfers from 78s).
