This ballad tells the poignant tale of a woman who spends years roaming the hills, faithfully waiting for her lover to return, her heart longing for his kiss. Though his fate is unknown, she is cherished by the town. Years later, a stranger arrives, weeping at her grave, revealing himself to be the long-awaited lover, now returned too late. The townspeople speculate about his past, wondering if he was a sailor lost at sea or a prisoner never set free. At its heart, this song is a tragic reflection on enduring love, missed opportunities, and the passage of time.
