This song suggest that Rothasen left her because she was a fat orgress. Meri is a ogress (a giant who devours human). The original story is that before Meri's death, she vowed to the gods that in every reincarnation she would reunite with her lover, Rothasen. He originally left her to perform filial duties and when he returned, she died literally crying to the point where she became blind and cried tears of blood.
