Trivia: Jurament – Antonette Mendes
“Jurament” (meaning *promise*) is a deeply emotional and heart-touching Konkani song that speaks about love, betrayal, and heartbreak. Written by M. Boyer and soulfully sung by Antonette Mendes, this song is featured in M. Boyer’s “25 Vorsanim” album and remains one of the most touching sad songs in Konkani music.
The song begins with a powerful expression of love, where the singer says she gave her heart completely and placed her love within his heart. Two hearts were meant to unite, but instead, that bond was broken, leaving behind pain and betrayal. The innocence of true love is shattered when promises—*jurament*—are not kept.
As the lyrics unfold, she recalls reading his letters, only to feel deep sorrow and disappointment. The word “praier” (meaning beach) holds special significance, as it was there that promises were made—promises that were later broken. This adds a strong emotional layer to the song, showing how memories tied to places can intensify heartbreak.
The song takes a more painful turn when she imagines his future—she says that one day you will get married and visit the same beach with your wife. In that moment, she believes he will remember her and the promises he once made. This thought adds a deep sense of longing and emotional weight to the song.
“Jurament” stands out for its meaningful lyrics, emotional storytelling, and the soulful voice of Antonette Mendes, who perfectly conveys the pain of a broken heart. It’s a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced love and loss, making it truly timeless and unforgettable.

Jurament Lyrics
Kalliz hem tukach re bhettoilem,
Mog utor kallzacher nettoilem
Don kallzam bandpachem dor tuntoilem,
Innocent kallzak hea fottoilem.
Vachun tujeo donui chitti,
Kallzak dukh hea bogli motti,
Jurament diun fottoilem maka praier kongotti…X2}
Paloili vath mojea jivitachi,
Sun korunk maim tuji zainam raji,
Gulfant vortam mhunno sangatinn zatoch tuji,
Punn axea kallzan bitor urli moji.
Jurament dilo dogainim,
Aiz anv eklinch roddtam dukanim,
Moga tuka pisso kelo gulfantlea libranim…X2}
Goeam eun kazar tum zatolo,
Bailek gheun kongotti vetolo,
Jurar zaleanv tea khursaxim tum pautolo,
Tednam tuka ugddas mozo ietolo.
Churchure mhoje kelenam,
Koslench anvem sukh dekhlemnam,
Chittir boroilam tem maka Ponnje dokhear kiteak sanglemnam…X2}
Chittir boroilam tem maka Ponnje dokhear kiteak sanglemnam….
