I managed to record Twin1 singing part of an Indonesian children’s song that he learned from our maid.
Here are the links to both the wav file and the mp3 file.
[Twin1 singing (331kb mp3 file)]
I converted the wav file through Media-Convert.com, where you can convert files from one format to another for free, without downloading any programs, without having to wait for them to email you the converted file. It’s fast, it’s free, it’s easy.
I also found the lyrics of the entire song in Mama Lisa’s World:
Naik Ke Puncak Gunung
Naik naik ke puncak gunung
Tinggi tinggi sekali
Naik naik ke puncak gunung
Tinggi tinggi sekali
Kiri kanan kulihat saja
Banyak pohon cemara*
Kiri kanan kulihat saja
Banyak pohon cemara.*
Her site has the English translation, as well:
Let’s Climb the Mountain So High
Come on, let’s climb the mountain so high,
The mountain, so very high!
Come on, let’s climb the mountain so high,
The mountain, so very high!
To the left, to the right, as far as we see,
The pine trees show us their greenery!
To the left, to the right, as far as we see,
The pine trees show greenery.
Am I being biased or is voice just too precious? :)

hi mimi! i got here through your mom whom i met through odette.
i love taking videos of my 3-year old daughter, abby, singing tagalog songs. we’ve been living in texas for a year now and try desperately to teach her tagalog. and one way is through songs. so far, i’ve made videos of her singing “sampung mga daliri”, “penpen de serapen” and “maligayang bati”. all of these have already made their way to my blog, too. hee hee hee!
i wish you a great week ahead. count me as one of your regular visitors now. :)

I wonder if there are children’s VCDs in Tagalog like Dora the Explorer. (Batibot maybe?) My kids are picking up Spanish very quickly but they only giggle when I try to teach them Cebuano or Tagalog. My girl only got interested in Tagalog when she got a Filipina classmate. Sadly, their family went back to the Philippines already.
