As for the state or govt award I am not sure, but this was told to me by our then head master, and incharge for our annaul School tiatr (St. Bosco's High School, Chinchinim). I had presented this song for the audition but was rejected as it was M. Boyers song. I still remember some parts of that song...Besides this song was full of proverbs.... Chintlelem zalem tor melelim ghara, ieta mhunta tem khorem, Goemcar ami zaitem chintat, punn ekui kam zainam purem, Vhodil amche ikmotin roitale, kumbani pikoitale,dadosponn bhogi purem Punn atam sov muineank pavona sakani ghatlear sarem, Goeam bhangarchem mhunntat, punn goemcar sik Rukh torno punn tacho vanvoilo dik....... Godd randit thor, amkam lagta tik Paus ui unno zaun unno zali pick Goemchim xetam pikona, Deva koslem ghatlem gha vik Goemcar khoimsorui assom, tankam vodvik aplea ganvachi,... Punn atam ek vell jeun ek vell sonvoim korchi podli paumchi.......... Illexm xeth punn sarem sakani, Sarem sakani punn duddu lakhani Vaurat re vaurat goeamcar putani Taichung voklekui xinkonk konkani...... rgds Edward Verdes Chinchinim/KSA From: "A. Veronica Fernandes" > Taichung paddy seeds were just introduced in Goa, it was called Japanese seeds that time. >It was very high quality seed quantitywise compared to our normal seed. >It gave us very good returns but it was only because of high grade and expensive fertilizer supplied free of charge by Birla. Since it > ILLEXEM XETH PUN SAREM SAKANI > SAREM SAKANI ANI DUDDU LAKAHNI > VAVRAT RE VAVRAT GOYKAR PUTANI > TAICHUNG BHATAK BHAS SOMZONA KONKANI, etc. > > Becuase of this song M.
