Remo Fernandes

Luís Remo de Maria Bernardo Fernandes (born 8 May 1953) is a Goa-born Portuguese singer and musician. Known as a pioneer of Indian pop music, he performs pop/rock/Indian fusion and is also a film playback singer. His musical work is a fusion of many different cultures and styles that he has been exposed to as a child in Goa and in his later travels around the world. Such influences include Goan and Portuguese music, Sega music (from Mauritius and Seychelles), African music, Latin music (from Spain and South America), the music of erstwhile European communist states, those of the dance halls from Jamaica and Soca (from Trinidad and Tobago).Writing and singing songs in English made his success more rare and distinctive in the context of the Bollywood-dominated,… more »

We're now a proper corporation
A 5-women federation
We need  our own administration
We must have our own Congregation
  
We need a proper location
For medication and education
No mind-boggling legislation
What we need is our own Congregation

Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai

With faith and determination
And a bit of imagination
We shall raise a foundation
On which to build our own Congregation

We seek not security
We seek not prosperity
We seek not authority
Our work our only priority    

We seek not publicity
We shall seek not celebrity
We spread the love in our vicinity
We just aspire to be
The Missionaries of Charity

And each one of us shall take four vows
Written in fire that nothing can douse
Chastity (Chastity)
Poverty (Poverty)
Obedience (Obedience)
Wholehearted and free service to the poorest of the poor

To serve the poorest of the poor
We need our freedom and liberation
We can only be sure
When we have our own Congregation

Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai

A Vatican evaluation
Is required for our formation
But the Lord has been our inspiration
He knows we need our own Congregation

We work in Calcutta City
With no water and no electricity
Things are not very pretty
But we do get by on generosity
And we do get high with the possibility
That someday soon we just might be
The Missionaries of Charity

Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai

Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai... ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
