There is a rainbow in the east ,
And no one dares to point to it .
When a girl goes away [from her home] ,
She separates from her parents and brothers .

In the morning [a rainbow] rises in the west ,
And [only] during the morning is there rain .
When a girl goes away [from her home] ,
She separates from her brothers and parents .

This person
Has her heart only on being married .
Greatly is she untrue to herself ,
And does not recognize [the law of] her lot .
