This heart-breaking folk-love song was originally known as 'Waly, waly.' This version is for women's voices, and begins with a soprano solo which turns into a duet.When the chorus enters about halfway throughthis short piece, there is a key change fromF major to G major and the voices begin to diverge from each other, but despite this the work remains quite tonal and the separate lines always very singable.
