Old men with wet dreams,
never tied to a woman
Some live and die married to spirits...
Young women with stale clits
never urged by a man's touch
Some live and die married to spirits...
Ebe Mmong,
The betrothed of the gods
Some live and die married to spirits...
Awan Mmong
People robbed of life's pleasures
Some live and die married to spirits...
Wedlock of the gods
Men and women married to mermaids
Some live and die married to spirits...
People who have children in the waters but barren in life
People who are glued to the shrines possessed
Some live and die married to spirits...
Ebe Mmong a curse or a gift
for their life partners are men and women cursed with wealth and fame;
Some live and die married to spirits.
