This song was recorded in a small town of [[w:Volovets|Wolowec]]. It is a folk song and belongs to a cycle of the songs of the harvesting season. It tells a story about a young girl and her mother. The mother asks her daughter to rake the grass for it to dry and become hay, but the grass hasn't been mowed yet, so there is nothing to rake, and the girl is too tired working in the field to mow the grass.
