Two versions of a lyric song consisting of a few strophes with disconnected content, yet all related to courtship: “Thank you for sending me the matchmaker, but there are problems with the dowry. Too much money is required and my father does not agree. I am lovely and you are lovely, we shall marry and our children will be like the moon and the sun. I am lovely and so are you, let us get married.”
