I have been trying to find an old Hungarian lullaby that my grandmother sang to me and I sing to my kids. I do not know what it means and I do not know all the words. The verse is something like:
Boulah boulah, boulah, boulah boopin do ya.
I am sure I am misspelling everything.
Do you know it? Can you help me find the whole song and the meaning?
Thank you,
Nicole
If anyone can help Nicole with the original Hungarian words to this lullaby and/or an English translation, please let us know in the comments below.
Thanks!

Dear Nicole,
It doesn’t really sound hungarian. Do you know only this part of it? I really would like to help, and I know quite much song, rhyme, lollaby in hungarian, but I have no idea what it could be.

Ross ross treel
Debauer hotta fil
Debauer hotta rodiku
Mamma los mihar estu
No no net
De (and then she said my name)
