about

Hey, Vela, young Vela, I’ll ask you a question
And tell me the truth –
Why did your face become so dark?
Why did it become so ugly?

Uncle Ivan, you are asking me
And I will tell you the truth:
My girl friends gathered
Cunning and playful
To make a beautifying potion

So they put herbs and sticks and stalks
To smooth the wrinkles away
And become prettier

They made the potion but got it wrong
And tricked me into trying it
And smeared it on my face –
that’s why it’s so dark and ugly!
