There is a cumulative song in Laal (and neighboring languages in southern Chad: Boor, Ba, etc.), which is very similar to the Had Gadya you mention. I paste below the text of the version sung by Nyindu Hyabalo and Assiam Kirga in Gori (Chad) on March 21, 2012
(it seems that they did not remember exactly how the song ends). The original recording and translation/annotation can be found in the Laal collection in the DOBES archive, in open access (see ref. below). Glosses are in French, with a translation in French
and English. I don't know what the origin of the song is, whether it is a local adaptation of a song orignally from elsewhere (and if so where), or even how long it's been known in the region.

As you will wee, it does not involve embedding. Laal does have relative clauses (and other forms of syntactic embedding), but none are used in the song.

<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>A cumulative song is one in which each unit, or stanza, introduces an additional layer of syntactic embedding, such as the following ...</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This is the house that Jack built.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This is the rat that ate the malt
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">That lay in the house that Jack built.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This is the cat </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">That killed the rat that ate the malt
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">That lay in the house that Jack built.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This is the dog that worried the cat
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">That killed the rat that ate the malt
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">That lay in the house that Jack built.
</p>
<p>... and so forth. Perhaps the earliest example of a cumulative song is the Jewish Aramaic hymn
<i>Had Gadya</i>.</p>
<p>My query: Is anybody familiar with examples of cumulative songs from other non-WEIRD cultures and languages. While my main interest is in "indigenous" attestations, I would also be interested in successful adaptations and translations of western cumulative
songs into other languages.</p>
<p>(Background to the query: I am interested in exploring variation in the propensity of different languages to make use of syntactic embedding. My focus is on languages such as Malay/Indonesian, which have various tools to construct embedded clauses but generally
choose not to make use of them in natural discourse. I would like to test the hypothesis that such cumulative songs are absent or otherwise less successful in such languages.)</p>
