lovely rhymes for the bébé's in our lives

now that we’ve all been duly scandalized by horrible rhymes :stuck_out_tongue: i’d love to see/hear some examples of fun, happy and cheerful songs to sing to our little babies. i know there was a thread where people were posting rhymes, could one of the mods please merge that with this? i can’t find that thread…

my mom was singing this to my son today and the lyrics are so cute. she started crying halfway because she was remembering her mom singing it to her when she was little :frowning:
anyhow, i googled it and hooray for the interweb! here’s the link - http://www.4shared.com/audio/p0Jh5XwB/08_Kishore_Kumar_-_Munna_Bada_.htm?aff=7637829
i have to admit, hearing the song while thinking about my son has me teary eyed… especially the bit about the baby being lost and no one could find him until they found him in his mother’s eyes. awwww :slight_smile:

My mom used to do
chanda mama duur kay
baray pakaye boor kay
aap khaien thali main humko dain pyaali main
pyaali gayi toot chanda mama gaye rooth

We did a lot of darood shareef with our daughter when she was younger, now i do nateein too. I also like singing her that song called lakri ki kathi.
