COMEDY SONG "ADIM ANI ATAM" by M. Boyer

LYRICS OF COMEDY SONG "ADIM ANI ATAM" by M. Boyer

by Domnic Fernandes




Whenever M. Boyer sang a comedy song, the moment he made an entry on the stage, people went berserk and whistled before he could even start to sing a song because they knew they were out for a treat; he never let them down. For comedy song, his specialty was dancing on the stage in the form of an “attko” (number 8) - just as one performs an “attko” when taking a motorcycle riding test! He would enter the stage and go into an “attko” and stop only when he began to sing a song; he repeated the “attko” at the end of each chorus. He is the only singer to be encored with whistles and shouts “anko ieo, anko ieo, anko ieo” (encore, encore, encore - come again, come again, come again) for around a dozen times per song.
Fast
composer as he was, he composed lines instantly and added them to the original song which is what made the public to encore him; they wanted to hear more lines from him than the usual 3 verses and 3 choruses. When people would not stop encoring him, he would appear on the stage for the last time and request the public either in the form of an extra verse/chorus or simply verbally not to bother him again as the director was already upset because the tiatro was getting delayed. Here is one of his comedy songs which he sang in 1978 in “DEV NIT” tiatro by the late Conception (of Anthony-Nelson-Conception trio fame) in Mapusa, Bardez, Goa. The song consists of four verses and five choruses instead of the usual 3 verses and 3 choruses:




“ADIM ani ATAM”

I
Adim cheddo-cheddum mogan poddtoch, kazar zatoch, mhunno sonvsar tannim kelo
Adim dadlo jetan fuddem cholo, bailo lhollu pattlean oxeo alo
Adim bailo ghovachem nanv ghevunk bhietalim, mhunno amcho zait khuim gelo
Atam ‘Caitan’ mhunnon martat ulo, bailen denknno ghalo, mhunttoch ghov zata lolo
Atam ‘Caitan’ mhunnon martat ulo, bailen denknno ghalo, mhunttoch ghov zata lolo

Chorus
Adlim kazaram, hoi chintun roddonk ieta

II

Atam kaido konnankui voddpacho, bailen dans nachpacho ani ghovan mar khavpacho

Chorus
Adleanchem nesop kitem, kosli tanchi chalu

III

Atam bailank bhirant nam Devachi, kumar zata Pedruchi, avoi chovgam bhurgeanchi

Chorus
Atanchea bailank sonvoieo zaleat vankddeo
Ghovachea ragan Passporti kortat rokddeo
Arabam borim bonvon bhoreoch ghaltat fugddeo
Moroncheak Goyeam ieatat, zavn sukleleo bokddeo

Here comes the bonus verse and two choruses after the encore:

IV
Adlea tempar kazar zavn ghovan kiteim mhunnot tor, bailo asleo sonsun vorpacheo
Atam bailo vhoddle zaleat re devchar, ghovan kiteim mhunnot tor zogddim korpacheo

Chorus

Chorus
Bhavanim, bailanim adim kaiborem vid sarlam

ADIM ani ATAM, M.Boyer-achem kantar khuimchech casettir nam; tem hanvem ostogim Mapxeam Narvekar tiatrachea mattvant record kelelem.
