Suriram


Suriram, suriram ram ram
Suriram manisku
aduhai anakku sayang
suriram jantung hatiku

Tinggilah tinggi si matahari
Suriram
Anaklah kerbau mati tertambat
Suriram
Sudahlah lama ibu mencari, sayang
Baru sekarang ibu mendapat

Suriram, suriram ram ram
Suriram manisku
Aduhai anakku sayang
Suriram jantung hatiku



Tidurlah Intan

Tidurlah Intan
Tidurlah sayang
Anak emak kecil
Kecil emak timang

Timang tinggi-tinggi
Sampai cucur atap
Belum tumbuh gigi
Dah pandai baca kitab

Tidurlah Intan
Tidurlah sayang
Anak emak kecil
Kecil emak timang

Alahai sayang!

Why start a blog on nursery rhymes?

The reason for me to set up this blog was to share 'lagu dodoi' or nursery rhymes with mothers out there in the cyber space. It started of when I had my first baby. In order to put her to sleep or to just play with her, I started searching for books and cds but I was quite dissapointed. The good ones was the english nursery rhymes. I couldn't find a malay cd which is suitable for me to use. I normally found incorrect rhymes or ultraman taro videos with rhymes as the background music. It was quite frustrating.

Afterwhile, I managed to find a blog which was dedicated to "Lagu Kanak-kanak & Dodoi Si Manja " at http://edorel.com/web/adriana/. It has since cease to operate. Therefore, I am opening this site so that all moms and dads can have fun singing to their children. A special "Thank You" to the owner of the above website for sharing these love local nursery rhymes which I stumbled upon in 2005.

I hope you'll like it and if you have any local rhymes to share, please email me at heavenlyindigo@gmail.com
