(Sung by Men)

You said that I had a wife.

Well,yes,I did have one before.

Last year she died in a fire,

That is,she drowned in the river the year before last.

Last night I finished my period of fasting from meat;

It was just last night that I shed my mourning clothes.

I never discussed marriage with another!

I didn’t take a second wife!

How could you think that of me?
