He came from the nearby town

And showed up at your door

Expresses his intention to take care of the listener and her four children.
And your children four."

He stayed with you all day and night

And took you as his wife

He showered you with gifts of gold

And loved you with his life

I've got treasures of gold

And then one day the soldiers came
Introduces a conflict with the arrival of soldiers and news of war.
And said there was a war

The woman said her last goodbye

While falling to the floor

And hung them on the door

I've got treasures of gold
