| Long abstract | Dildima Xau is a lament, sung by a woman after marrying into her husband’s home. She describes her miserable existence—her decrepit appearance and the poor treatment she is receiving—to a bird, the eponymous dildima, asking the bird to carry her message back to her parents in her natal home. |
