Way back in the mists of time (1940-50's), my mother used to sing what I assumed was a nonsense song. Now I'm wondering if it was actually a language... one I don't know.
So, if anyone recognises this ditty, will you let me know?
It sounded like this:
Coin-me nary, kiltie-cary
Coin-me nary, coin-me
Ring ting ranabunna, ranabunna ring ting
Ring ting ranabunam coin-me.
I know it doesn't sound like a language but not so long since, I found out that a 'nonsense' song my Granddad sang, was actually Burmese! So you never know.
