Translated text

A game widespread among urban and rural children, known by various names (Father Migeljusz, Hyacinth, Gerginje, etc.), suitable for children’s gardens and elementary schools. The children form a circle, holding hands; inside the circle stands one of the players (Father Virgil). All move around in a circle. After these words, the one in the center performs a movement (bends over, jumps 1, etc.), and all the children imitate it. Whoever is late or imitates awkwardly swaps places with Father Virgil.

Transcription scope: musical notation and song lyrics omitted as material outside the corpus scope; exact boundaries recorded in the extraction report.
