Pun podih
Poem in English and Kristang | In memoriam Bernard Stephen Mesenas (1938-2021), Kristang language consultant for Kodrah Kristang
Pun podih.
In Kristang, it means
You are gay, and that's okay.
You are young, and that's okay.
You are all alone in this world, and that's okay.
Also can.
God will still be with you.
The language will live again in you.
