- Description: Old traditional lullabies, by Chewa women of this district. In them the continually harassed mother mentions her many and endless duties which demand her attention as well as the child which needs her constant care. b) "Luluya, sleeping child, do not cry. See your motehr is at work. See the porridge pot is boiling. Don't go on crying, go to sleep. A child's god is a scrap of food. Its mother is the stirring stick. Should I nurse a child on account of the stirring stick? Its father is its first finger. I get only a share from the kitchen spoon." Two lullabies.
