{{short description|Goan folk song}}
'''Dulpod''' is a [[Goa]]n dance song with quick rhythm and themes from everyday Goan life. The plural of ''dulpod'' in [[Konkani language|Konkani]] is ''dulpodam''. The dulpod is a folk song, anonymous, freely improvised, and sometimes lacking in thematic unity. The tunes of the dulpod are usually in the six-eight measure, though the two-fourths are not uncommon. The dulpod is usually sung in sequence with a [[mando (music)|mando]].

''Farar-far zatai ranantu'' is one of the best known {{Transliteration|kok|italic=no|dulpods}}, a masterpiece of its genre. The composer sings: “The white soldiers are shooting at the Rane. The Rane are shooting at the white soldiers.” Of late, the dulpod ''Ya, ya, maya ya'' is often sung at the end of a sequence of {{Transliteration|kok|italic=no|mandos}} and {{Transliteration|kok|italic=no|dulpods}}.
