Can Anyone Help with The Afrikaans Song “Ek borsel my tande”?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Emanuela wrote to me asking about an Afrikaans song:

Hello Lisa,

I’m looking for the full lyrics to the little tune “Ek borsel my tande…” I’ve been singing it to my niece to encourage her to brush her little teeth, but I only know I tiny part of it. I’m wondering whether you might know the entire song?

Many thanks.

Emanuela

If anyone can help with the lyrics to this song, and/or an English translation, please let us know in the comments below.

Thanks in advance!

Multilingual Kids Books on the Web

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I’ve been asked twice in the past week for free multilingual books.

Here’s a link I found called Books in Multiple Languages. They have English children’s books with translations in Spanish, French, Polish, Italian, Romanian, German, Chinese, Finnish, Swedish, Maori, Greek, Dutch, Farsi (Persian), Afrikaans, Croatian, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, Pennsylvania Dutch, Sloven, Indonesian, Malaysian, Hungarian, Dari, Hindi and Filipino.

If anyone knows of any other good multilingual book links, feel free to let us know about it in the comments below.

Someone was also looking for children’s books with animal sounds around the world. There’s one called Who Says a Dog Goes Bow Wow? by Hank de Zutter. You can click the link to see it on Amazon.

I’m looking for some help finding the lyrics to a South African children’s nursery rhyme in Afrikaans that starts:

Opa ry en sy ou Ford…

Does anyone know the whole piece and others from South Africa?
