The song was authored by Feodosija Jegorovna Seburova (born: Griškina), a woman of Tugijany birth, who married a man of the other clan living in the same village, according to the traditional marriage rule. In Tugijany village, the Griškins of the pŏr phratry and the Seburovs of the mɔś phratry have been each other's primary marriage partners for as long as one can remember, and the number of Griškin-Seburova and Seburov-Griškina families exceeds the number of families that have a wife brought from other neighbouring villages (Paštory, Čueli, etc.). The author belonged to the generation of the grandparents of those who are 30–40 years old today, so the time of the creation of the song is around the 1920s, the second part was probably composed later. In the present short performance, the song can be seen as the minimum of a woman's personal fate song, which contains the motive of getting married, the children, and the further fate of the song's author. An older village woman would probably have performed the same piece in a length of 60–80 lines.
