Konkani Lyrics

✦ Verse 1

Almost Heaven, West Virginia

Nisorga xhar hirvem bhangar

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Lamb rund dongor doriache deger lhar

Life is old there, older than the trees

Render xetkar Nustea ramponnkar

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Sobit Sadhem jivit Nizache goykar

✦ Chorus

Country roads, take me home | To the place I belong

Utrun ghatt cholia vatt | Goy xharant, Prann ruchla

West Virginia, mountain mama | Take me home, country roads

Doria dongrant, Goyche bhuiek | Dhor gopant, Yo Goyant

✦ Verse 2

All my memories gather 'round her

Fonddun te dongor thambddo dunvor

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Ran zhaddam katrun nach zali vhanvti zor

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Duxit zal varem Udok vhanvt' mellem

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Goychem daiz luttlem sang konn zayit te chor

✦ [Chorus]

✦ Bridge

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me

Goychem yadin kalliz dhodd'dhoddtta suskarta

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Tujexim yetam hanv ub gheunk tuj’ gopant

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

Pois hanv vechona sangat soddchona

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Dhanv marun yetam hanv goy xharant, Hoi goyant

✦ [Chorus (x2)]

✦ Outro

Take me home, country roads (x2)

Goykara, yo Ganv ghora (x2)
