Mhaka hanga kovi Cyril Fernandes (Goan Review & Gulab-anuch nirmann
kel'lo kovi to) hache ek Romi Konknni sobhek ghoddlele kovitechi yad
zata - "Gulab Romi kantte devonagri"
............................
Modganvcho "Konkani Ekvott" ...korta duspott?
Kovi koso nirmann kortat kai? Ti kovita Cyril'achi kai?
Ami soglle dhon! Hoch amcho ekvott!!
"One state, One Government, but Secretariats? ...TWO!!
One river, one road, but Bridges? .... TWO!
One people, one language, but Tongues? ....TWO!!"
is the rough rendition of Cyril Fernandes' poem recited at the Goa
Bachao Abhiyan-led rally on 18 December, 2006 at Azad maidan, Panaji.
As far as I know, this poem only served as an INSPIRATION for the
other poem .... NOT COMPOSED BY Cyril Fernandes as has been
attributed to him in Fausto da Costa's above posting. I think the
original publication makes this distinction.
Mog asundi.
