Unknown children's song

from movie "Samurai II, Duel at Ichijoji Temple" (1955)
Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple (1955) - IMDb

Lyrics starts: "Oh yuki, Oh yuki, o neng san wa ni e no, nani si te o na ... (hard to write down the lyrics)

"The snow is falling deep
Monk Horen's hut is out of sight
What is he doing asleep?
He's reading sutras all night
Eating snow to keep his might"

Do you know song's name? Thanks.

Can't view it in Japan, as YouTube has blocked it due to copyright.

Forgive an impertinent question, but have you ever studied Japanese at all?

No, I have not studied Japanese, which is why I can not properly write down the lyrics, even in romaji.
I got the English lyrics from the movie subtitles.
The video plays in Internet Explorer IE-11, but is blocked in Chrome.
Attached is a zip file containing a mp3 file.
You should be able to open it and listen to it.

Not a kid's song, but taken from a book (maybe a comic?) about Miyamoto Musashi

大雪小雪
法然さんは見えぬ
何してござろ
経読んでおざった
雪食べておざった

As Majestic-san mentioned, it's not a children's song. I think it might be an original song for the movie.
As in the lyrics Majestic-san transcribed, the English subtitle you quoted is wrong. The translator must mishear some words and misinterpret the lyrics.
