Who Will Marry Musuma?
-Who
Will Marry Musuma?-
Who will marry you Musuma?
With beauty of the morning sun,
Eyes of a twinkling sky,
Touch as soft as clouds,
Musuma, who will marry you?
Who is worth your value?
A woman that gods plan, from our village at
night to steal,
A woman who is wrestled for by our village's
strongest warriors.
Who is fit to espouse you?
Who will marry our beauty, Musuma?
For now her head slowly greys,
For now her skin gradually loses its softness,
And she soon approaches barrenness.
Who will marry you, pride of our village?
I fear, your beauty might become your mock,
I fear, a spinster you would age,
I pray, old and unwedded you do not die.
What a shame is there anyone befitting of your
beauty O daughter of Shula, the great Hunter?
