Songs and children

My children love songs. This is mainly because I love singing rhymes to them since they were babies. Aisyah and Nisa, now in taska, seem to love singing even more with the singing sessions they have in school. Every other week, they would come home n sing new songs, some which are quite creative. Quite a number are translated from English songs, but they love them the same.



I also love to hear them singing, just like hubby. But my Papa seems to enjoy them the most. Almost everyday, he would try to coax the girls to sing for him. Most times, they would oblige, making their Tok Wan happy in the process.

Well, maybe, that's what makes me able to create a couple of songs for them. In fact, there were 2 or 3 more that I've forgotten, as they were mainly created from out of the blue, at the spur of the moment inspirations.

One of the songs I composed for my darling chids:

Tidur, tidur, sayang mummy,
Tidur nyenyak sampai pagi,
Bintang berkelip di angkasa,
Awan berarak merata-rata
Buah hati Mummy tidur lena...

Another of their favourite:

Satu ibu itik, jalan masuk kampung
Tiga anak itik mengekor di belakang
Bila ibu pusing, semua sudah hilang
Quek, quek, quek, mana anakku sayang

Ibu itik lari,
Cari sana sini
Quek, quek, quek,
Mana anakku pergi
Quek, quek, quek,
Mana hendakku cari

Tiba-tiba...
Quek, quek, uek,
Ibu mari ke mari
Quek, quek, quek,
Kami ada di sini

Ibu itik kini
Sudah senang hati
Anak yang dicari
Sudah ditemui

Quek, quek, quek,
Ke mana kamu pergi
Quek, quek, quek,
Buat ibu susah hati

Quek, quek, quek,
Ibu maafkan kami,
Quek, quek, quek,
Kami pergi mandi

Ibu itik kata jangan buat lagi
Anak itik jawab, ibu kami janji
Quek, quek, quek, semua senang hati
Quek, quek, quek, jom kita pergi mandi...
