Traditional Goan Hymns (Ladins)

Submitted by rayboy on December 14, 2008 – 12:16 pm4 Comments

Ladins are sung , during village events in Goa. And extremely common among the catholic communities in Goa. When i was in Goa , after the first Kuwait War, i was trained by the elders to sing these ladins, the tunes was amazing and had so much to it. (even though i didnt understand what the words meant).

Recently i felt this is a dying culture. i spoke to my dad , to come up with a DVD or CD audio  as he is a pro musician. He agreed and its going to one of his projects in 2009. Luckily today i happened to find the lyrics of most of them from a Goan Mailing list (Thanks JoeGoaUk ). So if you are from Goa and know the ladins, this could be useful.

I – Alma Redemptoris Mater  (after the litany and during Advent) 
Alma Redemptoris Mater, Quae pervia coeli
Porta manes, et stella maris, Succurre cadenti
Surgere qui curat, populo, tu quae genuisti
Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Geneitoren
Virgo prius ac posterius. Gabrielis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum Miserere

 
II – Regina           (after Easter) 
Regina coeli, letare, alleluia
Qui quem, meruisti portare aleeleluia
Resurrexit.  sicut dixit alleluia
Orap pro, nobis Deum alleluia

Salve, Avos bradamos os degredados filhos de Eva.
A vos suspiramos, gemendo e chorando neste vale de lagrimas.
Eia pois, advogada nossa, esses vossos olhos misereicordiosos
a nos volvei e depois deste desterro nos mostrai a Jesus bandito fruto do vosso  entre.

    I was doing a search for words of “Virgem Mãe de Deus”, when I came across your blog. Thanks (and thanks to JoeGoaUK) …

    I’ve got some pdf and midi files on ladainhas and other hymns (Konkani/Portuguese/Latin), which I am recompiling from notes left by my Dad.

    I think Michael Pinto of Canada is setting up a website for the Konkani Rosary to be launched some time this month or in May – he’s got some of my compilations. Send me a PM if you’re interested in the same.

    Cheers,

    Gabriel.
