    A Hindi Children’s Song with an English Translation

    Tomorrow is the Colorful Hindu Holiday called Holi that’s celebrated in India. I thought, for the occasion, I would share with you this new Hindi song I recently received…

    Ek kawwa pyasathaa
    (Hindi)

    Ek kawwa pyasathaa
    jugmay thOdaa paaneethaa
    kawwa laayaa pathar
    paani aayaa oopar
    kawwaa peeyaapaani
    Hogaya kahaani

    There Was a Thristy Crow
    (English)

    There was a thirsty crow
    A jug has a little water
    Crow brought pebbles
    Raised up the water
    Crow drank the water
    End of the story.

    Many thanks to G.Kavitha for sending me this song and for translating it into English!

    -Lisa

      Dear Lisa,

      I think your site is a fantastic resource, however it would be great if you could offer some sheet music, or chords or a melody line so I know how they go in order to teach them to my music classes!

      Thanks,

      Lisa Sheppard
