Alicia Bendayan (Tetuan)


This wedding song talks poetically about the tall house as appropriate for the wedding (v. 1-2); rich men's houses of pinewood (v. 3-4); good wishes for the couple's prosperity (v. 5-6); the father's saving-up for the dowry (v. 9-12); the wedding ring (v. 13-14, 17-18); and the love and care that will be lavished on the bride (v. 19-22).
