HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER
Our elders used to say: Those who hurt their parents will never lead a
happy life. They also used to say: Parents curse comes from the bottom
of their heart. Perhaps readers will say all these things might have
happened; they don't happen today. The following true incident took place
in the country where I am employed and it was published in todays daily
newspaper:
Fathers Curse Kills Abusive Son
An embittered father who had suffered years of abuse at the hands of his
son, cursed him resulting in his immediate death. The son recently beat his
father black and blue and drove off in the family car leaving the father
crying and wailing. Feeling helpless, the father went to a police station
to report his son and began invoking one curse after another. A few minutes
later the police station received a report of a terrible car accident in
which a young man had died. It soon transpired that the young man was the
son who had just been cursed by his father!)
Here I remember a song titled Kaxintlo Paim (the leg from the coffin) by
the veteran singer, Joe Rose, which is also a true story about a sons
ill-treatment to his mother and the punishment he receives when he is dead.
Here are the lyrics of the song:
KAXINTLO PAIM by Joe Rose
I
Aikat mogall bhavanim, sangtam tumkam hanv hi khobor khori
Eke maink aslo ek cheddo, gharacho mhunnon divo, apurbai kori
Pottak mirieo ghalun, bhuk apli marun, ti taka vaddi
Put kednam voddlo zatolo ani apleak postolo, chintun dis sari
Chorus
Deva lagim magun, konnaincheim rinn kaddun, iskolak ghatlo
Bogor ievn poixe magi, vaitt amigank tea bagi, tankam khavoitalo
Main poixe nam mhuttlear, to khontt mari kullnnear, maincher chavotalo
Maim dukan dis sari, korun dukancheo zori, koxtt mainche put chintinaslo
II
Iskolachi guttli marun, xekim iskol soddun, zalo movali
Rat zatoch maim kaddi khonti, boso umrear ghevn pontti, vatt ti poitali
Vaitt mhunnonasli putak, xinnonasli Devak, fugasanv bhogtali
Put lokot ghara iei, maink sonvo ghaii, marun bhattli
Chorus
Ek dis pion ghara ievn, maink khontt marunk, paim ukollo
Tednanch vogot tacho pavon, kallzacho atak zavn, thuimsoruch somplo
Akkea ganvank perganv poddlo, tachea moddear lok bhorlolo ojeaplo
Ganvche aile xapai, zaite getle upai, tacho ek paim kaxin vochonaslo
III
Thoddeanim paim damun dhorlo, dor ghevn bandlo, ekdom taktin
Punn bandlolo dor tunttlo, paim voiruch sorlo, bhitor uronk kottin
Mainchea kallzak toplo bhalo, kortubancho ailo ugddas motin
Roddon mhuttlem mojea puta, hanv bhogxitam tuka tednanch panvom denvlo
kaxin
Chorus
Main zolom tuka dila, dudhan tuka ximpla, hem visronaka
Podvecho tuka mevot dhog punn mevchonam maincho mog, tika dukoinaka
Pivn monan ailear dhar, hath tuzo vonttir mar, maincher uklinaka
Tednanch Dev ghaltolo bessanv, hea moddeachem lisanv, mogall bhavanim
tuka-mhaka
Tednanch Dev ghaltolo bessanv, hea moddeachem lisanv, mogall bhavanim tuka
toxench mhaka
