- Description
- The singer's theme deals with the things he wants from life and he gives various examples. He says, "if you want a really good cow, you must ask a chief for one. If you want really good food, you must ask a chief's wife for it." He also says that quarrels between husband and wife are caused by two things, the wife's gossiping and her constant visits to her parents. The bow with its fundamental notes (produced by striking both the long and the short segments of the braced string) over an octave apart (nearly sixteen semitones) is used as a rhythmic ground to set against the swift patter of the song. Wistful song with musical bow, vertical, braced, round section.
