Can Someone Help with the Tune to the Hindi Song “”Tick Tick Tick”"?

Hi Lisa,

I am a musician living in the middle of a field in the North of England! Amongst other things, I do lots of World music/dance/instrument sessions with people of all ages.One of these is an Asian Day where, up to now, I’ve included a difficult but possible song in Hindi (Mandi dialect).

I’ve just looked at your website for the 1st time and was delighted to find your Indian children’s songs – particularly as all my Asian friends reckon that generally kids sing adult folk songs rather than nursery rhymes. I love the Tick, Tick, Tick specially as I’ll soon be working with 3 to 5 year olds and it is so suitable (and would lead to brilliant discussion on whether Indian sparrows sound like English ones!) but… I need the tune… how/where can I find it? I’d be really grateful if you could help.

We have the song lyrics to Tick Tick Tick in Hindi and with an English translation – you can click the link to see them. Unfortunately, we don’t know the tune. If anyone can send us the tune in midi or mp3 format, that would be great! It can be a midi tune – or you could sing it for us so we can hear how you sing it – or even play it on an instrument. Please email me if you can help out.

Thanks in advance (a lot)!

A Hindi Children’s Song with an English Translation

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

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!
