Description: It appears quite usual for the women to take a lament as a theme for their dance songs. The sorrow of a woman who has no one to sing with her is a case in point. "There is no friend of mine whom I can sing with. I can sing like a guitar. I have tucked my jacket into my skirt. I cry, having no friend of mine to sing wth." Chintala women dance song.
