Thanks for solving the Frisian song I asked about on behalf of someone.
But in the same message he asked about another song. Anyone familiar with
it? Ingmar

>> While we're at it, anyone able to identify this song? I don't know
>> what language it is; it might be gibberish for all I know. It goes:
>>
>> /bEtS@ batS@"beit@
>>  Indi ouvI"Steit@   (this part sounds German)
>>  "vIksti si
>>  "vIksti su
>>  kamdi kEtsl@"ale su
>>  a"deima ma
>>  a"deipa pa
>>  "hupsa lisa hupsa sa/
>
> Ingmar:
>
> betsje batsje beete
> in de oven steet e
> wiksti si
> wiksti su
> kam de ketsle (?) alleen su
> an de mama
> an de papa
> hupsa, Lisa, hupsasa
>
> the first is a nonsense rhyme sentence
> then: in the oven he stands
> nonsentence ??     it won't be XTC ;-)
> nonsentence ??
> came the kettle all so

> to the papa
> whoops, Lisa, come on
