Shame on me I left that chore until last and now I am having trouble. I’ve gotten English and Spanish. Please let me know if this is even remotely possible so I can make other arrangements.

Betsy sent me The Itsy Bitsy Spider in Hebrew:
Al ha kir tipes lo, Akavish Katan
Tip tipot shel geshem girshu oto m’sham.
Ba pitom hashemesh
shibsha et kol ha gan.
Ba pitom hashemesh
shibsha et kol ha gan.
Al ha kir tipes lo, akavish katan
Tip tipot shel geshem,
girshu oto m’sham.
Chashavti she tafasti oto,
Aval…..fistasti oto!
Thanks Betsy!

This is the Swedish version of the “The Itsy Bitsy Spider Around the World”
Imse vimse spindel klättrar upp på trån,
ner faller regnet, spolar spindeln bort.
Upp stiger solen torkar bort allt regn,
Imse vimse spindel klättrar upp igen!

Long ago that I sang it, but this is the German version of the song:
Kleine, kleine Spinne, wie lang dein Faden ist.
Kam der Regen runter und der Faden riß.
Scheint die liebe Sonne, leckt den Regen auf.
Kleine, kleine Spinne kletter wieder rauf.

Philippines:
Maliliit na gagamba (itsy bitsy spider)
Maliliit na gagamba, The little spider
Umakyat sa sanga. Climb the branch
Dumating and ulan, The rain came down
Itinaboy sila. Pushed them away.
Sumikat ang araw, The sun came up
Natuyo ang sanga. It dried the branch
Maliliit na gagamba The little spider
Ay laging masaya. Are always happy.

This is the Greenlandic version of Itzy Bitzy Spider:
Piitaq aasiannguaq
Qarmakkakkut majuarpoq
Sialuit tutsipput
Piitap timaa masappoq
Seqineq nuivoq
Piitap timaa panerpoq
Piitaq aasiannguaq majuaqqilerpoq
I hope that you can use it

Portuguese Version:
“A dona aranha subiu pela parede
Veio a chuva forte e a derrubou
já passou a chuva e o sol já vai surgindo
e a dona aranha continua a subir.”

I just want to share this song from our country Philippines.
Ako Ay Nag-tanim I Am Planting
Title
Ako ay nag-tanim I am planting
Isang pirasong luya A one piece of ginger
Tumubo ay gabi It grows a taro
Bumunga ng mangga It fruited a mango
Nang pipitasin ko When I pick it
Hinog na papaya A riped papaya
Lumagpak sa lupa Fall into the ground
Magandang dalaga It’s a beautiful lady

Portuguese: I translated this myself using the version you have on here and going off the Spanish version. I think this Portuguese version goes better with the tune.
A dona aranha subiu subiu subiu
Veio a chuva e a derrubou
Chegou o sol e tudo se seco
E a dona aranha subiu subiu subiu

Norsk;
Lille Petter edderkopp han klatret på min hatt
Så b’ynte det å regne og Petter ned han datt
Så kom solen/-a og skinte på min hatt
Da ble det liv i Petterkopp som klatret atter opp

Finnish:
Hämä-hämä-häkki kiipes langalle
Tuli sade rankka, hämähäkin vei
Aurinko armas kuivas satehen
Hämä-hämä-häkki kiipes uudelleen

Dutch version
Hansje pansje kevertje die klom eens op een hek
Daar kwam de regen die spoelde hansje weg
Toen kwam de zon op die maakte Hansje droog
En hansje pansje kevertje die klom toen weer omhoog
English translation:
Hansel pansel little bug was climbing up the fence
There came the rain which washed Hansel down
Then came the sun which dried up Hansel
And Hansel Pansel little bug was climbing up again!

This is the german version we always sang in kindergarden:
Kleine Spinne Rosi krabbelt auf die Heck,
kommt der große Regen, spült die Rosi weg.
Kommt die liebe Sonne, streichelt Rosis Bauch,
kleine Spinne Rosi krabbelt wieder rauf.
