INTRODUCTION

Children's song may be a nurseryrhyme set to music, a song that young

children invent and share amongthemselves, or a modern creation intended

for entertainment, many are used foramusement, with clever word play andsometimes surreal humour, use in the

home, or education.

As they are usually learned aurally (by ear)rather than learned from a book, they are

particularly susceptible to being changed. Itis striking how often the printed or sung

versions in one place differ from those fromother sources. Many of these songs wereand are continually changed, added to,

subtracted from and remade.


3/35

Although childrens songs have beenrecorded and studied in some cultures

more than others, they appear to beuniversal in human society. Singing is agreat way to introduce, improve andstrengthen language skills. This is true

for young people and adults, however,young people probably are the mostwilling to join in the fun and sing along.

things.

7/35

In the version commonly sung today,

the lyrics allow for a substitutable animal

and its respective sound.

Old MacDonald had a farm, EE-I-EE-I-O,And on that farm he had a [animal name],

EE-I-EE-I-O,

With a [animal noise twice] here and a [animal noise twice] there

Here a [animal noise],

there a [animal noise],everywhere a [animal noise twice]

Old MacDonald had a farm, EE-I-EE-I-O.

For example, a verse using a cow as an animal

and moo as the cow's sound:


And on that farm he had a cow, EE-I-EE-I-O.

with a moo moo here and a moo moo there

Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo


"Old MacDonald Had a Farm" is

a children's song and about a farmer

named MacDonald (or McDonald,

Macdonald) and the

various animals he keeps on hisfarm. Each verse of the song

changes the name of the animal and

its respective noise

Malay folk song: Rasa Sayang

"Rasa Sayang" (pronounced [rasasaja], literally "loving feeling") is

a Malay folk songpopularin Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

The basis of "Rasa Sayang" issomewhat similar to Dondang Sayang

and many other Malay folk songs,which take their form from thepantun,a traditional ethnic Malay poetic form


9/35

Malay folk song: Rasa Sayang

Rasa sayang, hey!,

Rasa sayang sayang hey,Hey lihat nona jauh,Rasa sayang sayang hey!

Buah cempedak di luar pagar,Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,Saya budak baru belajar,Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan,

Pulau pandan jauh ke tengah,Gunung daik bercabang tiga,Hancur badan dikandung tanah,Budi yang baik dikenang juga,

Dua tiga kucing berlari,Mana sama si kucing belang,Dua tiga boleh ku cari,Mana sama abang seorang,

Pisang emas dibawa berlayar,Masak sebiji di atas peti,Hutang emas boleh dibayar,Hutang budi dibawa mati,

Because this song is inpantun form, for

each quatrain, there is no relevance of

the first two lines to the message

conveyed by the last two except to

provide the rhyming scheme.

There are many version of the lyrics of

"Rasa Sayang", but it usually starts with

this refrain:

Rasa sayang, hey!Rasa sayang-sayang

hey,Hey, lihat nona jauh,Rasa sayang-sayang, hey

The refrain is then followed by a wide

variety of popular Malaypantun
