Huge Man Introduction

UK folk song "John John" sung by the amazing Sam Lee http://samleesong.co.uk/

John John, where have you been all night 
down in the valley kissing sally, 
picking up cinders, breakin' winders, 
riding donkeys, shooting monkeys,
I'm a boy for kicking up a row row row

John John (English)

UK folk song "Cock Sparrow" sung by the amazing Sam Lee http://samleesong.co.uk/

A little cock sparrow he sat in the tree 
A little cock sparrow he sat in the tree 
A little cock sparrow he sat in the tree 
He chirruped he chirruped so merry was he

A naughty boy came with his bow and his arrow
A naughty boy came with his bow and his arrow 
A naughty boy came with his bow and his arrow 
All for to shoot that little cock sparrow

Oh little cock sparrow you'll make me a stew
Oh little cock sparrow you'll make me a stew 
Oh little cock sparrow you'll make me a stew 
And your giblets will make me a little pie too

Oh no said the sparrow I'll not be a stew
Oh no said the sparrow I'll not be a stew 
Oh no said the sparrow I'll not be a stew 
And he flap flapped his wings and away he did flew

Cock Sparrow (English)

Finnish folk song "Pikku poika postiljooni"

Finnish 
Minä olen pikku poika posteljoon
ja posteljoon – ja posteljoon
Minä olen pikku poika posteljoon 
ja kiertelen ympäri Suomenmaan
Minäpä se jakelen ne kirjeet ja muut
ja kirjeet ja muut – ja kirjeet ja muut
Minäpä se jakelen ne kirjeet ja muut
ja naurussa ompi tyttöjen suut
Eikä mua ilahuta mikkään muu
ei mikkään muu – ei mikkään muu 
Eikä mua ilahuta mikkään muu
kun siniset silmät ja naurava suu

English
I am the little Postman
the Postman – the Postman
I am the little Postman
And I travel all round Finland
I will deliver the letters and cards
The letters and cards – the letters and cards
I will deliver the letters and cards
And the girls all smile at me
And there is nothing that pleases me more than this
more than this – and more than this
And there is nothing that pleases me more than this:
A pair of blue eyes and smiling lips

Pikku poika postiljooni (Finnish)

Turkish folk song "Atabari"

Turkish
Bahcası var bağı var
Ayvası var narı var
Atamızdan yadigar
Bizde atabarı var

Uzun uzun kamışlar
Ucunu budamışlar
Benim ela gözlümü
Gurbete yollamışlar

English
It has got gardens and vineyards
It has got quince and pomegranate
It is a souvenir from our ancestor
We have got the dance from our ancestor

Long and long straws
They have pruned the edges
My dear with hazel eyes
Has been sent to a foreign land


Atabari (Turkish)

Turkish folk song "Oynaya oynaya gelin çocuklar"

Turkish
Oynaya oynaya gelin çocuklar 
El ele, el ele verin çocuklar. 

Bir vatan bırakın biz çocuklara 
Islanmış olmasın göz yaşlarıyla. 
Bir bahçe bırakın biz çocuklara 
Göklerde yer açın uçurtmalara.

Oynaya oynaya gelin çocuklar 
El ele, el ele verin çocuklar.

Bir barış bırakın biz çocuklara 
Ulaşsın şarkımız güneşe ve aya.

Oynaya oynaya gelin çocuklar 
El ele, el ele verin çocuklar.

Bir dünya bırakın biz çocuklara 
Yazalım üstüne sevgili dünya 

Oynaya oynaya gelin çocuklar 
El ele, el ele verin çocuklar.

English

Children, come play with each other
Children, come hand in hand
Give us a homeland
Not watered with tears
Give us a garden
With a room for kites on the sky
Children, come play with each other
Children, come hand in hand
Give us peace
Let our song be heard by the sun and the moon
Children, come play with each other
Children, come hand in hand
Give us a world
Let us inscribe on it “we love the world”
Children, come play with each other
Children, come hand in hand
