One of "mičošanas" songs. "Mičošana" is a wedding ritual, often held around midnight, whereby bride and bridegroom symbolically become husband and wife. Bride's wreath/chaplet/veil gets replaced by a bonnet, she dons an apron and gets a rolling-pin or a bowl with a wooden spoon. Bridegroom puts on a panama and has to light a pipe or cigar :)
