Growing up as a kid in the late 1950's, and as a teenager in the early 1960's, we frequently heard Doris Day's 'Que Sera Sera' played on the 'Emisora de Goa' (Radio Station during the Portuguese time in Goa) and on 'Radio Ceylon' (now Sri Lanka). This song was on everyone's lips. It was my Mom's favourite too. I heard her hum the tune as she went about doing her house-hold chores everyday, some of which included an ongoing project like a sweater that she would knit, a lost button on my school uniform or a shoe-lace that she would replace, or the lengthening of my shorts as I grew up almost by the week. The lyrics were even translated into Konkani which went like this:
Aslom tednam aum laan burgo,
Maink moje avem ho vichar kelo,
Zaith aum sobit, guirest vhodlo,
Osso zabab dilo.
Zaunchem zatelem,
Goddchem poi tem goddtelem,
Noxibantlem meutelem,
Zaunchem zatelem.
Rest in Peace
