She got up early

She got up early
My young wife,
She got up early
In the white dew.
She pours water to her
Father-in-law,
She tells him her dream
‘Listen, father, I dreamt
last night the four walls
of the house were falling’
‘Don’t worry, daughter,
the dream was about the night.’
Passed a day, passed two.
The woman fell ill
They brought a red carriage
With white horses
They took her
to the most learned doctor.
The doctor said:
‘Don’t worry, old man,
your daughter-in-law
is not so ill.
She is ill of desires.
