Yks kaks kolme, istu isän plveen
We were sent this rhyme with the note: "Usually we use this when children are learning to swim."
Yks kaks kolme, istu isän plveen
One Two Three, Sit on Daddy's Knee
Children's Song
Children's Song
(Finnish)
(English)
Yks kaks kolme,
istu isän plveen,
äiti sanoi: älä istu,
isä sanoi: istu vaan,
näin sitä istutaan!
One two three,
Sit on daddy's knee*,
Mommy said: "Don't sit down!"
Daddy said: "Sit down properly
This is how one sits down."
Notes
*Literally "lap" - I put "knee" for the rhyme. -Mama Lisa
