Goan Proverbs & Sayings

Saying:  Aum eilom axen, punn xermaum sanglo fingi baxen.

Lit. trans: I came with a liking, but the sermon was delivered in an alien (foreign) language.

Application: This applies to when one goes about expecting a good thing, but to one's surprise harsh realities set in and everything turns out adversely.
