Dear Valery,
If you are interested originally this text (game) was used when a mother has
decided to stop nursing a baby. It was some kind of slight threaten towards
a baby (stop sucks mother's breast or a goat will catch you). The whole text
is the following:
Idet koza rogataia
Za malymi rebyatami -
Kto titiu soset,
Togo koza zabodiot (zabodaet).
Thank you for your attention, sincerely, Yelena Minyonok
