Description: "Aliyeli, greet me, I am a small child. Aliyeli, write a letter Aliyeli, I came from afar." The burden of the song would appear to be that a young woman about to have her first child is trying to make contact with her man, now that she is about to bear (with difficulty) her first child. Dance song.
