Term 3 Chinese Songs: part 1

Hi,

In terms of Chinese songs this term, we will keep singing our 欢迎歌 (huanying ge: welcome song), 我的朋友在那里? (wo de pengyou zai na li?)

In case you've forgotten the words:

Yi er san si wu liu qi
Wo di pengyou zai na li?
Zai tian ya, zai hai jiao
Wo di pengyou zai zhe li!

一二三四五六七
我的朋友在哪里
在天涯,在海角?
我的朋友在这里

We will also learn a song we know in English (If you're happy and you know it) in Chinese (如果你是快乐你就拍拍手)!

Here are the words:

Ru guo ni shi kuai le ni jiu pai pai shou
Ru guo ni shi kuai le ni jiu pai pai shou
Ru guo ni shi kuai le ni jiu pai pai shou, pai pai shou
Ru guo ni shi kuai le ni jiu pai pai shou

如果你是快乐你就拍拍手
如果你是快乐你就拍拍手
如果你是快乐你就拍拍手, 拍拍手
如果你是快乐你就拍拍手

(拍拍手 pai pai shou = clap your hands!!)

Here's a fantastic video I found on the internet that can teach you the song (better than I can!)

It sings it for you and gives a little Chinese lesson at the end - it's really great! If you want your child to learn this song, my suggestion is that you take time to watch the video and learn it for yourself!

More songs to come
