Arabic Children’s Songs with Recordings

Friday, April 13th, 2007

This week we were fortunate enough to receive recordings of four Arabic songs from Lebanon. I’m posting one of the songs below for you to hear.

Here’s Tic Tic Tic Sleiman’s Mother in Arabic, with an English translation and the transliteration, so you can listen along to hear how to pronounce it.

If you’d like to have the computerized text. You can find it on the Tic Tic Tic Sleiman’s Mother song page.
