Country: Honduras

Lyrics:
Miruhuma arihei habuidumenina, mafarulubadena lamise

Translation:
Sit down and watch this. You’ll enjoy the story but that won’t make it any less sad.

More info: This is a song from the Garinagu of Honduras. It’s the opening lines of an epic romance tale that is told through dance. Thanks to Smithsonian Folkways for the lyrics and melody.
