The Night Has Ended
Children's Song
Children's Song
(Arabic)
(English)
The night has ended and the sun has risen and the bird sang saw saw.
He saw the cat he said to her "bes bes", she said "nau nau".
His mom said "Leave the cat alone".
He left the school and threw his notebook and he bothered the cat.
She scratched his hand when he pulled her tail.
And that's the end of someone who doesn't obey his mom.
