This song teaches girls not to eat food that is taboo. Apparently is regarded as an aphrodisiac, and therefore should not be taken by young girls, who would then become too forward with men.

Nyanthu, for example, which is the fruit of the waterberry (Syzygiumcondatum Hochst.), is popular with girls. It is found on the mountains and makes the mouth black after eating.
