Song is so sad when Portuguese persecution going on Hindus Damu afraid of Portuguese hence lady offer everything she had but Damu not ready to listen ...she tell stories she going for marriage infact she was running away from Portuguese
Nonsense. Attaching religion crap to everything. Its just a beautiful goan folk song which means these women want to cross the river to go to a wedding so they offer the boat rider their gold ornaments in exchange for the ride across the river and he refuses and takes them safely across.
