There is a rainbow in the east, | |
And no one dares to point to it. | |
When a girl goes away [from her home], | |
She separates from her parents and brothers. | |
In the morning [a rainbow] rises in the west, | |
And [only] during the morning is there rain. | |
When a girl goes away [from her home], | |
She separates from her brothers and parents. | |
This person | |
Has her heart only on being married. | |
Greatly is she untrue to herself, | |
And does not recognize [the law of] her lot. |
