Konkani Lyrics

✦ Verse 1

Everyone considered him the coward of the county

ಆಮ್ಚ್ಯಾ ಗಾಂವಾಂತ್ ಅಸ್ಲೊ, ಅಸ್ಕತ್ ಎಕ್ಲೊ ಚಲೊ

He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong

ತಾಕಾ ಪಳವ್ನ್ ಗಾಂವ್ಚೊ, ಹರ್ಯೆಕ್ಲೊ ಹಾಸ್ತಾಲೊ

His mama named him tommy, but folks just called him yellow

ಚಾರ್ಲಿ ನಾಂವ್ ತಾಚೆಂ, ನಾಜೂಕ್ ವೊರ್ತೊವ್ತಾಲೊ

But something always told me, they were reading tommy wrong

ಅಸ್ಲೊ ಬಿವ್ಕುರೊ ಹೊ, ಕಸೊ ಜಾಂವ್ಚೊ ದಾದ್ಲೊ

✦ Verse 2

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison

ಧಾ ವರ್ಸಾಂಚ್ಯಾ ಪ್ರಾಯೆರ್, ಅಸ್ಲೊ ತೊ ದಾಕ್ಟುಲೊ

I looked after tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son

ಬಾಪೊಯ್ ಆಸುಲ್ಲೊ ಜೈಲಾಂತ್, ಅನಿ ಥಂಯ್ಚ್ ತೊ ಸರ್ಲೊ

I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy

ಮೊರ್ಚಾ ಪಯ್ಲೆಂ ಚಾರ್ಲಿ ಥಾವ್ನ್, ಘೆತ್ಲೆಂ ತಾಣೆ ಉತೊರ್

"Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun"

ಕರ್ಚೊ ನಾಂಯ್ ತುಂ ವಿರೋಧ್, ಅನೀತ್ ತುಕಾ ಜಾಲ್ಯಾರ್

✦ Chorus 1

Promise me, son, not to do the things i've done

ಉತೊರ್ ಮಾಕಾ ದಿ, ಮುಜೊ ಕರ್ಚೊ ನಾಂಯ್ ತುಂ ಪಾಟ್ಲಾವ್

Walk away from trouble if you can

ಅನೀತ್ ಘಡ್ಚಿ ದಿಸ್ತಾ ತರ್, ಥಂಯ್ ಥಾವ್ನ್ ಮಾರ್ ತುಂ ಧಾಂವ್

Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek

ಸಂಸಾರ್ ಆಸಾ ನಷ್ಟೊ, ಮೆಳ್ಚಿನಾ ನೀತ್ ತುಕಾ

I hope you're old enough to understand

ಅನೀತ್ ಸೊಸುನ್ ವರ್, ವಿಸರ್ನಾಕಾ

Son, you don't have to fight to be a man

ಝಗ್ಡೆಂ ಕರುನ್, ಜೀವ್ ಕಾಡಿನಾಕಾ

✦ Verse 3

There's someone for everyone and tommy's love was becky

ಚಾರ್ಲಿಚಾಯೀ ಜಿಣಿಯೆಂತ್, ಅಸ್ಲಿ ಏಕ್ ಚಲಿ

In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man

ತೀಯಿ ಮೋಗ್ ಕರ್ತಾಲಿ, ತಿಚೆಂ ನಾಂವ್ ಜೂಲಿ

One day while he was working, the gatlin boys came calling

ಗಾಂವ್ಚೆ ಪೊಕ್ರಿ ಚಲೆ, ಜೂಲಿಕ್ ತುಕ್ಲಾಯ್ತಾಲೆ

They took turns at becky an' there was three of them

ಎಕ್ಸುರ್ಯಾ ಜೂಲಿಕ್ ತೇಗ್ ಜಣ್, ಅನ್ಯಾಯ್ ಕರುಂಕ್ ಲಾಗ್ಲೆ

✦ Verse 4

Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky crying

ಚಾರ್ಲಿ ಪಾವ್ತಾ ಘರಾ, ಜೂಲಿ ಸುಸ್ಕೊನ್ ರೊಡ್ಲೆಂ

The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand

ಆಂಗ್ ತಾಚೆಂ ಘಾಯೆಲ್ಲೆಂ ತಾಕಾ, ವಾಯ್ಟ್ ತಾಣಿ ಕೆಲ್ಲೆಂ

He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture

ವೊಂಣ್ತಿರ್ ಆಸ್ಚ್ಯಾ ತಸ್ವೀರೆನ್ ಹಾಡ್ಲೊ, ಉಡಾಸ್ ತ್ಯಾ ಉತ್ರಾಂಚೊ

As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again

ಬಾಪಾಯ್ನ್ ತಾಕಾ ದಿಲ್ಲ್ಯಾ, ಜಿಣಿಯೆಚ್ಯಾ ಸೂತ್ರಾಂಚೊ

✦ [Chorus 1]

✦ Verse 5

The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room

ಘಾತ್ಕಿ ಚಲೆ ತಾಕಾ ಪಳವ್ನ್, ತಾಚೆರ್ ಹಾಸೊಂಕ್ ಲಾಗ್ಲೆ

One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor

ವಡ್ಲೊ ಹೊ ಬಿವ್ಕುರೊ, ತಾಂತ್ಲೆ ದೋಗ್ ಮುಣಾಲೆ

When tommy turned around they said, "hey look! Old yellow's leaving"

ಚಾರ್ಲಿಕ್ ಸೊಸುಂಕ್ ಜಾವ್ನಾ, ಕಾಡ್ಲಿ ತಾಣೆ ತಲ್ವಾರ್

But you could've heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and locked the door

ತಾಣೆ ಬಾಪಾಯ್ಕ್ ದಿಲ್ಲ್ಯಾ ತ್ಯಾ ಉತ್ರಾಚಿ, ಪಡ್ಲಿ ತಾಕಾ ವಿಸರ್

✦ Verse 6

Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him

ಲಾನ್ ಥಾವ್ನ್ ಗಾಂವ್ಚೊ ಲೋಕ್ ತಾಕಾ, ಬಿವ್ಕುರೊ ಮುಣ್ತಾಲೊ

He wasn't holding nothing back, he let 'em have it all

ನಾಜೂಕ್ ಸ್ವಭಾವ್ ಹಾಚೊ, ಹೊ ಕಸೊ ಜಾಂವ್ಚೊ ದಾದ್ಲೊ

When tommy left the bar room, not a gatlin boy was standing

ಉಬ್ರಾಯ್ಲಿ ತಿ ತಲ್ವಾರ್, ಚಾರ್ಲಿನ್ ಮುಕಾರ್ ವೊಚೊನ್

He said, "this one's for becky", as he watched the last one fall

ಗಳೆ ತಾಂಚೆ ಕಾಪ್ಲೆ, ಜೂಲಿಚೆಂ ನಾಂವ್ ಕಾಡುನ್

✦ Chorus 2

And i heard him say

ಬಾಪಯ್ಚ್ಯಾ ತಸ್ವೀರೆಕ್ ಮುಣಾಲೊ!

"I promised you, dad, not to do the things you've done

ವಯ್ ಹಾಂವೆಂ ತುಕಾ ದಿಲ್ಲೆಂ ಉತೊರ್ ಡ್ಯಾಡಿ

I walk away from trouble when i can

ವಿರೋದ್ ಹಾಂವ್ ಕರ್ಚೊನಾ, ಕೋಣಿ ಅನೀತ್ ಕರುಂದಿ

now please don't think i'm weak, i didn't turn the other cheek

ಪುಣ್ ಎಕ್ಲ್ಯಾಕ್ ವಾಯ್ಟ್ ಕೆಲ್ಲೊ, ದುಸ್ರ್ಯಾಂಕೀ ಸೊಡ್ಚೊನಾ

And papa, i should hope you understand

ದಾದ್ಲೊ ಜಾವುನ್, ಹೆಂ ಹಾಂವ್ ಸೊಸ್ಚೊನಾ

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"

ಡ್ಯಾಡಿ ಮುಜಾನ್ ಹೆಂ ಜಾಲೆನಾ

Everyone considered Him the coward of the county

ದುಸ್ರ್ಯಾಂಕ್ ಜಿಯೆಂವ್ಕ್ ದಿನಾತ್-ಲ್ಲ್ಯಾಂಕ್, ಜಿಯೆಂವ್ಚೆಂ ಹಕ್ಕ್ ನಾ
