Triva: Bebdo – Lorna
“Bebdo” is a classic and evergreen Konkani song that blends humor with a strong social message. The title itself means *“Drunkard,”* and the song revolves around the struggles of a woman who finds herself married to a man addicted to alcohol.
In the first verse, she expresses her shock and disappointment—“Noxib mojem koslem, kednach chintunk naslem,” meaning she never imagined such bad luck in her life. She warns others not to face the same fate, as she feels cheated after marrying a drunkard. What was supposed to be a happy married life turns into regret and hardship.
As the song continues, the chorus adds a humorous yet impactful touch, where the husband demands alcohol first—“Soro maka zai poilo,” showing his addiction clearly. The lyrics cleverly portray how he was once a good person but changed completely due to drinking, highlighting how alcohol can ruin a person’s life and relationships.
The song also reflects deeper consequences, showing how addiction affects not just the individual but the entire family, bringing pain, stress, and even destruction to the home. Despite the serious message, the storytelling is engaging, with a mix of humor and reality that keeps listeners hooked.
Beautifully written and composed by Chris Perry and soulfully sung by Lorna Cordeiro, “Bebdo” remains one of the most loved Konkani songs. Even today, it is widely played and enjoyed at weddings, parties, and gatherings across the world, proving its timeless appeal and strong connection with audiences.

Bebdo Lyrics
Noxib mojem koslem, kednach chintunk naslem,
Konnak di naka gha saiba, maka boglam toslem,
Ghov maka meula bebdo saiba, kazar zaun foslem,
Magir tho kitem mhunnta zannam……. Hmmmmmmm
Ch: Ieo baile ieo, Soro maka zai poilo ………….}
Soro maka dina zalear tuzo foddtolom toklo…}…2
Bebdo zalo koslo, poilo boro aslo,
Koslo mhunon deumchar saiba, eun tachear boslo
Soro pion ek dis mozo, khoddo pasun taslo,
Magir tanem kitem muntlem zannam, hmmmmm
Repeat Ch: Ieo baile ieo..soro maka zai poilo…2
Chintlear sosunk nezo, fudar kitem mozo,

Soreak lagon bebdeani re, ghorak lailo uzo.
Magir te kitem muntat zanaim, …hmmmmm
Repeat Ch: Ieo baile ieo…soro maca zai poilo…2
