## Tenddulechim Tendduleim

The gherkin from the gherkin creeper

Type: Deknni

Source: Lourdinho Barreto. Goemchem Git. Pustok

Musical form: Binary

Literary form: Satire (?)

Translated by Alfred Noronha, Panaji, Goa, 10.05.2005

**Tenddulechim tenddulim,**

There are twelve gherkins

Bara ga bara,

On the gherkin creeper

Tenddulechim tenddulim bara.

Twelve gherkins from the gherkin creeper.

Mhozo poti na ga, na ga gara,

My husband is not at home, Sir,

Mhozo poti na ga, na ga gara.

My husband is not at home, Sir.

**Dekhṇi** (also spelled Dekni, Dekni, Dekhṇi) is a semi classical Goan (Indian) dance form. The plural of dekṇi in Konkani remains the same.

One of the most famous Deknni songs is *Hanv Saiba Poltodi Vetam* by Carlos Eugenio Ferreira (1860–1926) first published in Paris in 1895 and then in Goa in 1926. The song was adapted by Raj Kapoor as *Na mangoon sona chandi* in his Hindi movie Bobby. The story that is depicted in this song is about two temple dancers who want to go for Damu's wedding and they approach the boatman to ferry them across the river. The boatman says, "No! The river is rough!" The dancers offer the boatman their gold jewellery; but the boatman is still firm. "No!" he says. So the dancers dance for the boatman and this time he ferries them across the river.

One of the earliest deknnis which may be dated around 1869 is *[[Kuxttoba]]* in which he is called “heir to India and terror of Goa”, implying resistance to Portuguese rule. Kuxttoba was a member of the Salekar branch of the Rane family. Information about his birth, the reason and the course of his rebellion and the manner of his end are vague. He did rebel as an individual against the rule of the Portuguese in Goa but he presented no concept for a free Goa.

Other deknni songs are:
* Arê tanddela
* Tendulechim tendulim
* Vaingem kazar zata mhunn
* Voddekara
* Vhoir vhoir dongrar
* Xeutim mogrim abolim
