COUNTRY: Haiti
LANGUAGE: Haitian Creole
Found on the Folkways CD, “Music of Haiti: Vol 1., Folk Music of Haiti,” this is a song about a frog – “a krapo” – and a horse who are in love with the same girl and have a race to determine who can court her.
Lyrics of All Around This World version:
Ti-dong, ti-dong dong, ti-dong, krapo tingele
The frog is hopping, hopping, hopping, hopping, krapo tingele
Ti-dong, ti-dong dong, ti-dong, krapo tingele
The horse is running, running, running, running krapo tingele
