Lyrics (Transliteration)
Ach Koonelaki, koonelaki,
Xeelo poo tha toh fas,
Messa sto xeno, perivolaki
Treepes ya-tee treepas.
Greek – κουνελακι
Αχ κουνελάκι, κουνελάκι, ξύλο που θα το φας
μέσα στο ξένο περιβολάκι, τρύπες γιατί τρυπάς
μέσα στο ξένο περιβολάκι, τρύπες γιατί τρυπάς
Αχ κουνελάκι, κουνελάκι, ξύλο που θα το φας
Translation
Ah bunny, bunny, wood that you will eat,
In the strange scent, because you make holes.

Awesome to include Greek music!!! My brother-in-law was born & raised in Corinth, so my American niece speaks Greek and takes great pride in her Armenian heritage! Can’t wait to share this music with my K-4 music classes during Easter and other times as well.
