    The document is a song about a mysterious woman encountered in a foreign country who leads the narrator through the streets and to a hidden door, transporting them to a magical place. The woman is described as coming from the sun in a silk dress and having eyes that shine like the moon in the sea. She does not give explanations and the narrator follows her senselessly, losing track of direction. By morning, the narrator has thrown away their choice and ticket and decides to stay with the woman in the year of the cat.
