This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MOJE KUMAR by Lawrence de TiracolThanks Dominic. Reminds me of another song in the same lines: Aede raticho, kona randecho daram popaetha tho (2) Haum-ge kumadr, sadancho kumpar, dar maka kadi (2) Dar tuka kadina kumpar, Mai asa bhitori (2) Under the above circumstance, there is a usual knock on the door late in the night and usually the door will be opened. However, this night, a guest (mother or mother in Law of the lady of the house), has stayed over which the 'kumpar' does not know about. The lady however, does not want her mother or in Law to know of the illicit relationship and therefore, pretends surprise when she hears knock on the door. The 'kumpadr or kumpar' is baffled by the unusual welcome and so identifies himself that he is the usual 'night' visitor kumpar. He is told of the reason why the door can not be opened to night. This 'kumpar/kumadr' (the usual godfather/Godmother) term is used to indicate the illicit relationship in the Mangalore region as well.
