Krapo Tingele

COUNTRY: Haiti

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
