This song refers to the first encounters between the bride and her new mother-inlaw. “Come out, mother, to the courtyard, you will see your son’s bride coming. I saw her shining above the sea, oh, mother, with a golden pine tree I saw her shining like the morning star. Come, bride, let us talk.” The bride is invited by the groom’s mother: “Come, my lady, in the morning, you will drink coffee with orange juice. Come, my bride, let us talk and get married. Come, my lady, during the day, you will drink coffee with joy.”
