Description: A husband complained that his wife was unfaithful to him and worried about his son by this woman, as she would have to leave him if she did not mend her ways. The translation given for Waselo as 'jumping' may indeed be literally incorrect, but it is intended to convey promiscuity in going about with several men. Dance song for Chintala women dance.
