37.A Duck in a Cage

(Sung by Women)

You have your clan to support you,

You have your wife to help you.

Your wife takes care of the cooking,

And makes sure your household is as good as any other.

But as for me,my life on my own is not worth much,

I am as thin as a duck in a cage,

Dependent upon people to feed it.

Who cares about a left-over girl like me?

Who will feed a spinster?

Where can I go to earn a living?

Who will let me live in their house?
