The prelude has exactly the same form as the verse, and there is no refrain, 

 a very exceptional lack. The words kanayai ya at the end of each verse suggest 

 one but are so brief that they can hardly be so designated. Although the song 

 appears to be very regular there are varying intervals in the different verses 

 and slight rhythmic changes. It begins on the last half of the up beat, on the 

 third degree of the scale and also ends on this tone. This seems to be the general, 

 level of the song. There is a peculiar situation at the fifth verse, where, as far 

 as the text is concerned, there is an interlude or refrain, but musically we have 

 the same structure as before. From this point on there are more variations than 

 in the first part of the song.
