Thread Name: Hungarian? folk song, I think
Subject: Hungarian? folk song, I think
I just put a couple more songs in Esperanto on my website, the Cherry Tree Carol, which is well-known (and the Esperanto version is similar to the Baez one), and then Koko krias jam, which I don't know anything about provenance-wise. I have a hunch it's Hungarian, maybe from the corpus Bartok collected, or Kodaly or somebody, but I'm really not sure. Do any Mudcatters recognize the tune or know anything more about it?

I have also installed a fledgling index to songs on my site, here, but I think the only one there so far that I haven't mentioned here is my version of The Gambler in Esperanto.
