Abstract

Dzhidzha: No one can sing today as people did in the past. ‘Saig syakhn saarl’ is a song of advice that mothers sing, whose daughters are about to get married. It is about the hard life of married women, who were brought up in love and care in their natal family. My mother told me that there was one beautiful girl in her village who got married to a man from far away and that she had to spend two nights in the steppe to get to his home. That place is called Gakhata, which is indeed far away.
