A Poem About "Goa"

Sobit amchem Goem,

Sundor amchem Goem!
Rosall follanchem,

Lalit kalanchem, Goem!
Madd-maddianchem,
Nohiam-dorianchem,
Dudam-zorianchem, Goem!
Fulam-fantiechem,
Tambdde matiechem,
Loknna chhatiechem, Goem!
Porne kirtichem,

PLEASE ENJOY THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE POEM BELOW

How pretty is our Goa,

How lovely is our Goa!
Abounding in luscious fruits
And in fertile fields and shoots,
Fine arts form your very roots, O Goa!
Coco and areca trees,
Serpentine rivers and seas,
Milky fountains give you peace, O Goa!
Wrapped in many a flowery plait,
Bless'd with soil that's red and flat,
You've your heart in iron set, O Goa!
Famous from times immemorial,
You're still youthful, strong and jovial
And inspiration immortal, O Goa!
Ever fond of liberty,
Bestowing humanity,
You're a golden dream of beauty, O Goa!
-Manohar Sardessai
