Jingle nineth
Yes, it is a far-eastern folk song arranged by Del Borgo is set with western harmonies and traditional phrases in a straightforward format. However, this is song is well known in Christang (christ tongue) a malacaan creole Portuguese.
In Portuguese, the meaning is jingle the nineth. I am not so sure. Here it is my interpretation:
"Jingli" comes from jingle in English
"nona" from Portuguese meaning nineth
Better confirm to Portuguese pair.
