Eulodia Dagua, "(Koto Amarun) A Song To Keep You Here."

Because my father did not want him to go back (to live) in his community; to think about leaving for his own country... This is what (my father) sang to him so he would want to live in our territory. Who was it that he didn't want not to leave? My husband, so that he wouldn’t go back to his home territory, so he wouldn't go away again. That’s what he sang to my husband. He would sit him down and sing to him. My son-in-law is lying (in a hammock).// He is lying down in the hammock of the howler monkey boa, lying down in the hammock. No one is bothering him.// No one is bothering him where he is lying. He is lying down in the hammock of the red (howler monkey) boa, lying down in the hammock. Lying down in the hammock, in the hammock of the red boa he is lying down. Coming from very far away.// he is lying in the hammock of the red boa, swaying like this. That’s how he sang to him so he wouldn’t go away. Boas don’t go anywhere. They just lay where they are lyng. That’s why my father sang like that. Where is your husband from? My husband is from Villano. He really wanted to go back to Villano. So I said, "Dad, He really wants to go back to his home town," I said. So he said "All right, I will sing so he won't want to go back." So that’s what he sang. "The howler monkey (red) boa is lying in his hammock and no one is bothering him. So then he no longer thought about leaving. . That’s how (my father) used to sing. So your husband was lying (without cares) like the red (howler monkey) boa? Yes, like the red boa lying there, he told me.
