This folk song is a heartfelt dedication by a man to his late wife, who tragically passed away the night before a solemn feast they had been organizing according to their cultural traditions. The backstory of the song is as follows: the man and his wife had been diligently preparing for the feast for several days. However, on the eve of the event, the wife suddenly died. In adherence to the customs, the man buried her that very night and married another woman to ensure the rituals for the feast could be completed. After the feast, the man sang this song to reveal to the community what had truly transpired.
