Aren't there any more comments, suggestions etc.?
Here's a suggestion for your next project. Since you've done one
children's song, how about another? I translated this for the newsgroup
last July and you are free to use it as is or change it as you see fit.
Unlike the last song I gave you, I'm sure you've heard this one:

かごめかごめ
かごの中の鳥は
いついつ出やる
夜明けの晩に
ツルとカメと滑った
後ろの正面だーれ

Kagome kagome
Kago no naka no tori wa
Itsuitsu deyaru
Yoake no ban ni
Tsuru to kame to subetta
Ushiro no shoumen - Daare

A basket, a basket (Or: Surrounded, surrounded)
The bird inside the cage
When oh when will you come out
At the dawn's twilight
The crane and the turtle both slid
Right behind you - Whoo is it?
