No, Lena, sorry, I don’t. My source didn’t have a translation – and I can’t find it online. Sometimes native songs have nonsense words. My source has optional motions (which are copyrighted, so I can’t post them) that include stirring a bowl and licking the spoon. (I added a little blurb about what real Eskimo ice cream is!) So, you could use that information to help to explain the song, even without translation.

I love your site! Do you have a translation of the Eskimo Ice Cream song?
