- Description
- J. Nasawati is the sister of the Chief Njolomole. "Eyae yae! The elder is a mean man, he does not give even a single bead away, he is a very mean man!" There appears to be no connection between the words of the song and the initiation of he girls, which may argue great age for the song. Girls initiation song.
