Subject: RE: Does Anyone know this song??????
This is a better translation as the end of the lines in the chorus have the "a" written and punctuated.
Talkin' 'bout: Hey now! Hey now! : Iko, Iko, unday : Jockamo feeno ai nanà : Jockamo fee nanà : Look at my king all dressed in red. : Iko, Iko, unday. : I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead. : Jockamo fee nanà : Chorus: : My flag boy and your flag boy : Were sittin' by the fire. : My flag boy told your flag boy: : "I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
