CHORUS:
ROZALIN MOJYA MOGACHEM
. CHEDUM MOGACHEM
(spelt as per Mangalorean Konknni pronunciation)
This song was rendered solo by Dony Lobo in his audio cassette titled:
Best of Mangalorean traditional Konkany Folk
Songs (1980 or so)
About the Lyrics of the song:
This beautiful song was written by Albert Pinto (probably born in early 1900s)
for his wife
Rosalie (wow! How wonderful!!) . Albert Pinto, born in Mangalore, studied Law
and became a
prominent Lawyer in Bangalore . He had a wonderful singing voice and recorded
about a dozen
songs on the HMV label. The story goes that he was auditioned, and HMV told him
that he sang
Indian songs like an Englishman, and English songs like an Indian. So, he wrote
his own songs
in Konkani and recorded them for HMV. Late Albert Pinto's best known songs
are: Rosalin,
"Chowpati" - for Bombay 's Chowpati beach, "Whiskey Bottle".
Late Albert Pinto also wrote a book (in English), "Of Life and Love" which was
available in
the Bangalore Public Library for a long time. The book was rebellious and ahead
of it's time,
against traditional customs like arranged marriage and dowry.
Alberts wife Rosalie Pinto was the daughter of Cornelius and Seraphine Pinto
in Puttur
Mangalore. She was the second daughter of 4. Albert Pinto who married her
later, was a
distant relative uncle, and he fell in love with Rosalie when she was very
young. They married
when she was about 16, and he 28. (This kind of falling in love and even
marrying within the
family, though distant relative was something new and Albert may have been the
subject of
gossip for the elite of the society, as Pinto family was prominent in the
Puttur-Mangalore
circle). Albert and Rosalie Pinto had 10 children.
