Bélgica Dagua and Eulodia Dagua, "The Paspanzhu's Cry Reminds Them of Their Love."

“Just as they sang about the paspanzhu (forest guardian bird), I will sing the same.” “They sang like this: guruwa, guruwa paspanzhu, guruwa, guruwa paspanzhu.” “Look at how it sings; our elders sang like this.” “What does that song of the paspanzhumanda bird say?” “When the husband goes angrily to the mountain, that's where the bird sings.” “Our elders used to say: ‘When he walks through the mountain, he always goes ahead to sing.’” “This is how my wife sings. The husband walked, thinking about her.” “When does he hear the song of the real paspanzhu bird?” “When the paspanzhu sang, they imitated it singing ‘aawh!’ in the same way.” “Now, will your husband be thinking about you?” “My husband will think about me; Luis, when he walks in the mountain, he must be thinking about you.” “What do you think of the paspanzhu bird? It sings sadly when the husband leaves the house angrily.” “He walks calmly through the mountain and suddenly, it sings! Paspánzgu! Then it is surprised: ‘zim.’” “I left my wife talking at home, and that's why she's saying ‘paspanzhu.’” “Wherever she went, she sang angrily; she did it so the husband would think about her.” “The woman stayed at home while he went angrily to the mountain. She knew how to send her song over there.” “After singing that, suu! When he is walking far in the mountain, you must go and sing it,” she told the bird. “He left the woman at home and went out angrily; further ahead on the path, he sang.” “This is how they sing, paspanzhu; look closely at the bird; my wife sings just like the paspanzhu.” “I left my wife talking at home, and he returned sad.” “So that he would return happy to the house, that's why I sang like the paspanzhu.” // “Guruway, guruway, paspanzhu.” // “I've been singing down below, along the slopes: guruwa, guruwa paspanzhu.” “From below, along the slopes.” “If you're leaving me.” “Even though you keep leaving me alone.” “Right in front of you.” // “Guruway, guruway, paspanzhu.” // // “Pash, pash, pash, pash, the paspanzhu.” // “Right in front of your eyes, the paspanzhu will be singing.” // “Even though you say it like that.” // /// “Guruway, guruway, the paspanzhu.” /// “This is how our elders sang, this is how they did it.”
