A song regarding incest between brother and sister.

A song regarding incest between
brother and sister.

The young girl and the young boy-

Brother and sister they were - brother and sister.

They danced together,

And for the whole night they danced.

A Song regarding incest between brother and sister

(Oontd.)

They decided to elope -

After five days- before day-break

Before the cock heralds the dawn of the day,

They decided to run away -

To run away to a distant 'Raj'

Til go with you;

But will go for the whole life.

Desert me not, or I shall be ruined'

'Before the cock crows, we start,

And shall be in' 'Boda Sambhar Raj before the dawn,

There we shall work, and eat, and live happily.

The night passed,

And the appointed moment came.

She took five katas of rice,

A handful of tobacco, and a score of tendu leaves for chongi.

She took two pice, a plate and some pots,

She arranged all these things

And at the appointed time they started.

At dawn they crossed the tract ;

And reached the l Boda-Sambhar ? raj.

Nine months passed ;

And she began to feel miserable,

Every limb of her body ached.

Helpless she was utterly helpless,

*0 Father ! what can I do ?

For what I did, I must suffer.

Her agony increased,

And she had none to help her.

They pormised to offer presents to spirits ;

But the spirits would not be pleased !

They invoked the family God,

But He too was hostile.

A Song regarding incest between brother and sister

-(Concld.)

Death seemed the only alternative,

The punishment for his sin,

The sin of eloping with her brother.

None of their relatives had any thing to do with them.

Nor did any of them smoke with them!

Such was to be their life
