Bernado:

I was happy to spend some time at the main library in Panjim today researching 
the above.  It so
happened I was working on my current thesis "Bharatis and goans - similarity in 
facial features
and hair-styles in the 14th century with Bharatis being the slight winners in 
fashionable
footwear".  

The first line means: Bharatis are more melodious than goans.
The second line means: Repeat the first line twice.
The third line means: Repeat the second line twice and then go back to line one.

So now you know the truth.

Regards,
George
