Thank you. Now I see your problem. You had misspelled ballad.
"bal·lad
ˈbaləd/Submit
noun
a poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas. Traditional ballads are typically of unknown authorship, having been passed on orally from one generation to the next as part of the folk culture.
synonyms: song, folk song, chantey, ditty, canzone;" -- Google
Obviously, ballad is the right answer.
