On her hands are bracelets
And her feet are enriched with anklets.”
Rowing Song of the Fisher Kolis.
“A palmer came over the mountains and sat down under a barren tamarind tree
Then he got him three stones and placed a pot upon them.
He went to the midst of the town to ask alms and played his pipe as he went.
The sound of his pipe reached the ear of Rádha.
She ran towards her father and towards her mother:
‘You are my father and my mother: I am going off with this palmer for my man.’
‘Do not go, my dearest daughter, I will give you all you want.
