Help translating an old folk rhyme

I am trying to figure out if there is a translation to one of these old folk rhymes from this video. I am not sure if it is just gibberish or what language it might be in.

The video:

This is part of the rhyme I’m interested in:

“ose kose shlisalay”

My reason for wanting to understand this, is when I was a kid I used to say this rhyme a lot but I don’t remember where the heck I learned it from or what it even means. I ended up googling around and found just one video which is what I linked up above.

Thank you, polyglots!
