Fom time immemorial, legend has it that love sick girls would wait for the crow to bring the good news of a lover's arrival. The crow's chatter on the roof was a sure sign that the lover was on his way. In folk songs like "Maey ni kag banairay uttay bolia" (O mother, the crow has spoken), and in many other such songs, idioms and parables, the crow plays a central role as the keeper of secrets.

Folk songs, idioms and collective symbols are handed down to us through a history of thousands of years. Many symbols keep traveling through time in different forms with transformed appearances and rearrangement of vocabulary and even with altering accents.
