Three Ducks
Children's Song
Children's Song
(Tagalog)
(English)
1. May tatlong Bibe akong nakita
Mataba, mapayat mga bibe
Ngunit ang may pakpak
Sa likod na iisa
Siya ang lider na nagsabi ng
Kwak, kwak, kwak.
2. Tayo na sa ilog ang sabi
Kumending ng kumending
Ang mga bibe
Ngunit ang may pakpak
Sa likod na iisa
Siya ang lider na nagsabi ng
Kwak, kwak, kwak.
I saw three ducks,
A fat duck, a thin duck,
But the winged-
back one
He's the leader who says,
Quack, quack, quack.
Let's go to the lake, say
The ducks
Waddle, waddle
But the winged-
back one
He's the leader who says,
Quack, quack, quack.
Notes
I welcome help fine-tuning the translation at the top- I was going for a literal version. Thanks! Mama Lisa
This sounds like Six Little Ducks at the quacking part. Reneth wrote, "The 3 ducks song is exactly the Tagalog version and tune of the English six little ducks." Here's the first verse of the English version:
Six little ducks
That I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones,
Fair ones, too,
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back,
He led the others
With a quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack!
Thanks!
