Description: "Sleep well you girls, Sleep well my love." The last song at a dance party to break the spell and say 'Goodnight'. A simple melody, well suited to its purpose. In other parts of Africa similar songs are sung for the same purpose of marking the end of a party, a story telling session or a drama, equivalent to "Goodnight, ladies, we are going to leave you now." A spell breaking song.
