Fausto was spot on. While undertaking a decades-overdue sorting my collection of Goa books, I came across the late Oslando's work, *The Christian Goan Konkani Folk and Art Songs,* once more. (We never met, except perhaps as a kid when I distinctly recall being impressed by his music, but knew each other from a distance.)
The lyrics and music are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/36427937260/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/36653836482/in/dateposted/ Since I don't want to feel like a pirate and unauthorized-ly copying his work, I have one request to make to whoever benefits from this song from here: kindly, at some stage, please buy a copy of the book and/or gift it to someone who could make use of it. Community pioneers like Oslando have done a great job in keeping the music of the community alive, and deserve all possible support.
