Konkani Lyrics

✦ Verse 1

I got my first real six-string

Mujya jinnechem poylem guitar

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Iktem ghetlem Desouzachya shapar

Played it till my fingers bled

Bottasun vhanvoyli roktachi dhaar

It was the summer of '69

Te dis asle 69-cho summer

Me and some guys from school

Haavem ishkolatlya ishttam wangda

Had a band and we tried real hard

Kelem ek novem band toyyar

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

Jimi gelo ani Judy jalem kazaar

I shoulda known we'd never get far

Soglo poddlo mujeruch ho bhaar

✦ Chorus

Oh when I look back now

Punn fatlyo jenna yadi kaddtta

That summer seemed to last forever

Tyaach summer-ak havuy zakta

And if I had the choice

Ani tu mhaka isarxit jalyar

Ya - I'd always wanna be there

Mhaka mujhi tich jinn avoddtta

Those were the best days of my life

Mujhe jinnentle soglyant sobit dis

✦ Verse 2

Ain't no use in complainin'

Attam upkarna kestavu korun

When you got a job to do

Jinnen mhaka wosong jaay mukaar

Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in

Tingach mhaka mevlem {mevlo} tum

And that's when I met you

Gaddi gheun bhovo sanjecho {sanjechem} bekar

Standin' on your mama's porch

Ubhem {Ubho} tum tujya maychya porch-an

You told me that you'd wait forever

Tuvem utor dil-lem go {re} mhaka

Oh and when you held my hand

Mujo haat tujya hataan tuyen dharlo

I knew that it was now or never

Kovlem he attach na’lyar naka

Those were the best days of my life…Oh, yeah,

Mujhe jinnentle soglyant sobit dis…Oh, yeah,

Back in the summer of '69, oh

Mujhe jinnentle soglyant sobit dis, oh

✦ Bridge

Man we were killin' time

Amchya tornattya tempar

We were young and restless

Jayto vell vogddaylo

We needed to unwind

Fokot susheg jaay aslo

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no…yeh!

Fudarak kai tikun urchenna…urchenna, ohhh…hai!

✦ Verse 3

And now the times are changin'

Halincho kaall bodol-la

Look at everything that's come and gone

Poyle jivit amchem joshe sarlem

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

Ani jenna kenna guitar wajoytam

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Chinta hanvem huy kidem chukoilem

Standin' on your mama's porch

Ubhem {Ubho} tum tujya maychya porch-an

You told me that you'd wait forever

Tuvem utor dil-lem go {re} mhaka

Oh and when you held my hand

Mujo haat tujya hataan tuyen dharlo
