Hungary Loves This Little Rabbit

Earlier this week we met the Hungarian folk song, “Little Rabbit.” While most of the songs we sing in music class are “grown-up” songs we’ve adapted for kids of all ages to enjoy, this one is kidsy through and through. Sing with me:

Where are you going, little rabbit? Ingom-bingom talibe , tutalibe malibe. Into the forest.

Why do you go there, little rabbit? Ingom-bingom talibe , tutalibe malibe
To find some sticks.

Why do you find them, little rabbit? Ingom-bingom talibe , tutalibe malibe
to build a garden.

Why do you build that little garden? Ingom-bingom talibe , tutalibe malibe
For my mom.
