I haven't read through all the responses yet, but I would have assumed
someone would have talked about this. Kashka is definitely a man and
the song is definitely about a homosexual relationship. Well, to be
more accurate, it's not about the relationship, but about how the
protagonist feels about the relationship. Not the _homosexual_
relationship, but just their love and caring and how much fun and
love and mystery that exudes from her viewpoint.

If the word "another" means something else in a different part of the
world, I'd like to hear about it. :-)
