Bela Bela Konkani Lyrics
Calangute, vhoi Calangute, anv gelolom jetan
Mozo ghutt, kallzacho ghutt, buddounk sintimentan
Vatten choltannam nettan, moji nodor geli xetan
Deklo eok cholo, kantar kortalo, tamborin gheun atan
Bela-Bela, minha Bela
Sobit tum bhagintlea fula
Bela-Bela, mojea Bela
Dhavon heo gopan, poi tujea mogan, kallzak veddo ghala.
Kalliz mojem murgottlem, Belachem nanv aikon
Sintiment anv kaddtalom, fokot Belak lagon
Soglloch anv khoxen bhoron, sarko ghara gelom dhanvon
Up-to-date nesson, zonelar bosson, sad vho ghalo ravon.
Bela-Bela, minha Bela
Mogacho bhorvanso dila
Bela-Bela, mojea Bela
Tujeam utranim, tujeam chintnanim, kallzan ghontter kela.
Tallo mozo aikon uttlo sogllo amcho ganv
Bhirantin zonel bond korun, bitor ravlom anv
Motin kortalom tessanv, pattlea darantlean marunk danv
Pattlean poi zalear Belacho papa raula voddunk kanv.
‘Bela-Bela, tuka zai Bela
‘Naka’ mhunnlem ‘Guneav saiba zala
Bela-Bela, anga ye Bela
Dogaimchem kazar, atanch kortam, chol padri sorxim chola’.
