Kokko [a rare name]! Gather together [in a spoken language, assemble also works but kind if misses the point of the repetitiveness] the entire bonfire.
“Bonfire!” works as a yell and for the ending in a poetic or lyrical style.
“The size of the bonfire” is wrong.
But we could add “Kokon koko?” to include it. Or even “Kokon koko koko?” for “The total/full size of the bonfire?” or “Koko kokon koko?” as in “The size of the whole bonfire?”

The entire bonfire?
The entire bonfire, Kokko.
That makes more sense to me.
It’s similar to the English word play buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
Yeah though I hope it’s better as the buffalo wordplay is basically the only think keeping the verb use of buffalo alive

Yes, exactly
I get a slightly different result from DDG translate:
Bonfire!
Assemble the whole bonfire.
The size of the bonfire?
The whole bonfire, the bonfire.
Although, it’s even better with Kokko being a rare name;
Kokko!
Assemble the whole bonfire.
The size of the bonfire?
The whole bonfire, Kokko.

My bonfire brings all the boys to the yard
I have no Finnish, but what I hear you saying is that DuckDuckGo’s translate sucks.
Check out ChatGPT or deepl if you need Finnish translated. Of course this kind of wordplay is quite difficult to get right
i fed the text to chatgpt and it did a very good but not quite perfect job: "Bonfire, bonfire!
Bonfire?
Gather together the entire bonfire.
The entire bonfire?
The entire bonfire.
The size of the whole bonfire?
The size of the bonfire, Bonfire."
