The Itsy Bitsy Spider Around the World
Shirley emailed me looking for different versions of The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Here’s what she wrote:
I am desperately seeking 3-4-5 versions (songs) of Itsy Bitsy Spider for an around the world float.
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.
Thanks Shirley

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
