REMEMBERING SAM JUANV& LATE C. ALVARES.—II. We in the Rectory of St. Andrew’s celebrated the feast of the birth of St. John the Baptist in our own way. It was the birthday of Fr. Jean Ruby da Cruz Fernandes who from June1999 to May 2002 was Professor of Saligao Seminary and since June 2002 transferred to S. Andrew, Vasco and is with us and we did the Sam Juanv in our own way with jumps and song by C.Alvares and party. As we said yesterday the song is entitled ‘Sam Juanvcho Dhobazo’. I -Ami sogle zanvuim vortotanv, chodd tempan bhettleanv, Sam Juanvchem fest mhunnon ami, mavoddea pavleanv Matheak him kopelam ghalun, udok nhavunk bhair sorleanv Aizchea disa ami vhoddle, nokonv khuim pavleanv. Chorus: Sam Juanv, Sam Juanv ghunta mhure, vatt amkam disonam Aicho dis hurbecho konn konnak hansonam Chol-re, pie-re, tumvui illo gher-re, faliam kaim mevonam Oslim festam vorsant voros don pautti ienam. II- Zanvuim ami mavoddea ailent mhunn, vaddeant boball poddla, Mhojea sasupain baba ek kolso soro haddla. Tin kuddvamchi san’nam keleant, ani vhoddlo dukor marla, Sezarchea Konsu mannan ponnos dhaddla. Repeat the chorus. III- Vhoddilanchea kaiddea pormonnem, udok nhatanv bainchem Khoddegantt fest hem amchem mavoddechem Pondra dis halche nhoi, borench ami pieuchem Chol-le poilo Sam Juanv korum-ia( nanvum-ia), tem maguir pollounchem. Repeat the chorus. In Saligao the feast of Sam Juanv is organized as a community event in which Hindus and majority Christians contribute to make it a joyful celebration of ancient traditions. Fr.
