Yes, today (wendesday) is the first day of the Lent/Korezm/prachit kall. Today is Ash Wednesday or Gobra Budvar.
Senior Deus, miseri kort dia Senior Deus, miseri kort dia Senior Deus, miseri kort dia An older man in my village used to sing the above line repeated thrice. Soon after the ladin or Saibinn is over, When every thing is finished (Litney/Saibinn), suddenly, the older man used to sing the above latin hymn and we used to join him too and when we say 'miseri kort dia' we all used to knock our chest as we do when we say 'Hanv Patki' (I confess) 'ho mozo oprad, ho mozo oprad'. I never understand what it mean. Could it be 'Mr. (or oh) God, have mercy on us' ? Sadly, the older man died long time ago, but no body else does it now. In this season, I also remember hymn 'Stabat mate Dolorosa.. lacrimosa' Besides, lent season, I also remember other Latin hymns as follows: During House to House Saibinn (Our lady). Kominia ma istave.. Nosef, nosef, Kominia ma estave..(repeat) The Same in Konkani: Moje Maim thaim vetolom, ek dis suka bhaghivonta Ankvar Muriechea sangata.. Sorgar, Sorgar, Moje maim thaim vetolom (repeat) During Xmas: Ades de fidelis..veni de veni de Betleham.. Veni de adoremus, veni de adoremus.. In Konkani: Eiat Bhavartiano, vegin vegim eiat. Eiat Nomoskar korat.. Somiak During Ladin (Litny): Salve rainha, maem de miseri cord dia Vidado sora esparanca noza Virgem maiem de deus...Valei nos, Consolai nos, Amparai nos In Konkani (as per Alfred Rose Song 'Cheddeachem Baltim': Soroneitam tuka Rannie, Kakutiche Maie Foll hym was sang after Xmas (instead of above 'Salve Raihna') Alma redemptoris mate tu kepemviam chelli, tukepeviachelli, Porta mate..stela marie Santuchem nitorum, tu santuchem notorum And the ladin itlsef: Kiriele ison Kristele ison Kiristele au di nos Rosa mistica Dormus zauria Turis e bonia Fedris arca Janua Chelis Stella Matutina Salusim inferum Refuge pekatorum Auxillum chiste norum Regina Angelorum Regine sin lab orig. concepta Regina parcis Agnus Deis pekata munis- parsenobis domine Agnus Deis pekata munis- Ezagnos domine Agrus Deis pekata munis- Misere nobis. (Pl excuse my latin, we made it byheart like parrots whithout even understanding a word). Litny are still sang in Latin including the above popular Hymns for Our Lady. Not forgeting the 'Laudade' during wedding times.
