More folk song requests

While we are on the subject, there are a couple of songs from my childhood
for which I only recall the first lines. Anyone have any recollection of
these? These songs are most likely of Telangana provenance.

The first goes something like this:

chintaginza chikkindi maa yavvaku,
chingaginza chikkindi chinnavvaku, ...

and then goes on to chronicle what was done with the chinta ginza by
the lady in question.

The second one traces the germination and growth of a seed:

chinna vittanammu, cheTTu kindanu,
zaari, zaari, zaari, zaari pOyenu, ...

They are both acted out and performedby the kids, usually little girls.

One of these days, I promise I will contribute something other than
questions!
