This song is performed, without instrumental accompaniment, by a group of five people: four young men and a young woman. "Take what you can from life For you are going to leave You obey your parents And take a partner Away from the village You'll go towards the outside world And as soon as you have your own child on your knee You won't be able to rejoin us, your friends, Nor dance, nor sing in the Morung" |
