is this sentence gramatically correct? "ano ko ga futteita makka na sukaafu"


This phrase from a song "ano ko ga futteita makka na sukaafu" is gramatically
correct? shouldnt be

ano ko ga makka na sukaafu o futteita ?

BTW, ko is translated as "girl" . Ko has many meanings, but I dont remember
any of them being "girl". Shouldnt be "kid" here?




To add to psosuna's answer, it's worth noting that the line in question is not
a sentence, grammatically speaking. It is a noun phrase, with スカーフ as the main
or "head" noun and the preceding portions all describing the scarf. English
makes use of relative clauses, with _"that"_ used to coordinate, whereas
Japanese allows modifying phrases to directly modify nouns.

Direct translation of the Japanese:

> あの子が振っていた真っ赤なスカーフ  
>  _ano ko ga futte ita makka na sukāfu_  
>  that girl [subj] waving was pure-red [adj] scarf

An idiomatic English rendering, keeping the structure as a noun phrase:

> the pure-red scarf that that girl was waving
