I dont know whether you guys will like this or not but here is a halardoo gujju moms sing to their babies.. There are others but this one is my favorite..
we were playing moon and sun
while playing we found a kodee.
Kodee is a small shell and can be used for making decorative pieces.
I tied the kodee to the cow. (as a decoration)
Cow gave me some milk.
I gave milk to a peacock.
Peacock gave me a feather.
I sticked the feather on a little sand hill
Sand hill gave me some sand.
I gave the sand to kumbhar (potter)
Kumbhar gave me a pot.
I took the pot to a mahadev temple.
Mahadev gave me a baby boy.
I gave baby boy to my sister in law (bhabhee).
Bhabhee gave me some chanaa..
I ate the chanaa
The fotraa (chanaa cover ?) I gave to ghanchee (oiler? telee?).
Ghanchee gave me oil.
I applied the oil to my hair.
The head gave me a lice (ju).
I dropped the lice in the lake.
The lake gave me water.
I gave water to a mango tree.
Mango tree gave me a mango.
I ate the mango.
I gave the mango-seed to the monkey.
Monkey gave me a salute.. <!--emo&
