Gomantak You're Goa Today

Crimson hues of striking lateritic loam,

reminds me Bengal’s Bankura and Birbhum |

Endless swaying crowns of coconut glades,

it takes a visitor to the wonderful fairytales |

The lush green vegetations over the hilly terrains

Gomantak, you’re endowed with the finest beaches|

Your world-class hospitality, amazing tourist destinations

 allure the sightseers from far and near places |

Four and half centuries of Portuguese influence

which can be surely felt in every nook and crannies|

The cashew-nut orchards in the blissful country sides

dotted with classic houses having slanting tiled roofs|

Your leisurely afternoons roll over the quiet carmine evenings

the setting Sun, with hats & goggles & swimsuits, evokes pleasant memories |

 In Konkani ‘Lawrence’ is ‘Lorso’, while ‘James’ is ‘Jaku’

‘Marry’ has turned ‘Mori’, and ‘Joseph’ is called ‘Zuze’ |

Your never-ending coasts are adorned with finest sands

Here witness the indigo sea kisses the clear sapphire skies |

Ceaseless jolly tidal dancers meeting the shush shore

Saline refreshing rhythms create the background score|
