Hi Goanetters,
In the face of the war of words raging on Goanet lately regarding subjects
that ought not to have appeared on the Net
like bashing Christian religion, insulting a Portuguse Goan
calling 'quisling', maliciously calling Indian-Goans 'Bharatis'
etc, permit me to sing to you my song of Peace, that represented West
Germany at the Christmas Song Festival
1973 in Malta. I plead, please in the name of communal
harmony STOP any offensive postings on Goanet. After
all we are all Goans, be British, German, Portuguese, Indian.
or of any other nationality. What matters is that we are
Goans and our Motherlongue is Konkani.
Thank you. Basilio Magno (Spain)
LET'S HAVE PEACE
words and music by Basilio Magno
Let's have Peace, let's live in peace,
Let's end all wars, all misery;
Let's stop killing and gloating o'er victory.
Let's have Peace, let's live in peace,
Let's find a way to harmony;
Let's give hand even to our enemy.
What does it matter who's black or white,
What does it matter who's not of our creed;
Let's co-exist sharing love,
Let's rid our hearts of hatred and greed.
Let's have peace, let's live in peace,
Let's end the race for nuclear lead;
Let's stop wars, stop killing, let's live in peace.
Konkani version:
SOVOSTKAI, AMKAM ZAI
muzg ani utram ghoddpi Basilio Magno
Sovostkai, tunch amkam zai,
Nakam zhuzam, nak' dusmannkai;
Kiteak mornnam, kiteak dukham am' bhogunk zai?
Sovostkai, pois zainakai,
Dakoi ek vatt ji amkam zai;
Jivoncheak moi-mogan, dakoun apurbai.
Kiteak tim armam, kiteak te bomb,
Kiteak nam suseg, bhirannt moronk;
Visroya zatt, visroya katt,
Vhoir kaddiea fokot munnzaponn.
Sovostkai, tunch amkam zai,
Nakam zhuzam, nak' dusmannkai.
Fokot zai jivoncheak asun sovostkai.
