Kantaracho Jhelo - Alfred Rose

Dear Goemkars,

In memory of Alfred Rose, I would like to pen down some of his old songs
from his old album which many of you would like to sing. These songs are
from his 1973 Album.

I, being one of his fan, many a times just open the Jhelo and sing
remembering my teenage days. Hope you too do the same.

May God grant him eternal rest and courage to his bereaved family.

These are the few words he wrote before he could publish this “Kantaracho
Jhelo”

Best regards.

Annie Rodrigues

Toxench amott tik amchem ruchichem,
Kalchi koddi, lonnchem borem, para anim kharem,
