Favorite Chinese Children Songs
Posted by gsetio on August 7, 2007
My daughter is almost 27 month old. Her current favorite Chinese song is ‘wo de peng you zai na li’ (where’s my friend). If we ask her to sing, (or sometimes she will start singing without being asked) she will always sing this song. She know all the words and can already pronounce them correctly.
Her other favorite Chinese songs previously are:
- Zhao hao peng you (Looking for a good friends)
- Ba Luo bo (Pull the Carrot)
- Hua Xiao Chuan (Row Your Boat) – chinese version of Row-row your boat
- Jiao You (Take a walk)
- Da Xiang (Elephant)
- Yi Shan Yi Shan Liang Jing Jing (Twinkle-twinkle Little Stars)
- Zao Fei Ji (Make Airplane)
- Ya Zi (Ducks)
Most of the songs are action songs which explain why toddlers like them so much. The others are familiar lullaby and the elephant song became a favorite since we have a huge elephant doll 
and she like to ride the elephant 
I define favorite songs as those which she likes to sing (without being asked) while walking outdoor or in the car or while playing with her toys.
My main website www.earlylearning-chinese.com/songs.html has many more children chinese song lyrics and I’ll be adding more lyrics (and mp3 tunes in the future), so check us regularly or sign up for our newsletter or subscribe to this blog’s RSS.

Hi Grace,
Do you know the lyrics in Mandarin to “Burung hantu”?
In Indonesian:
Matahari terbenam
Hari mulai malam
Terdengar burung hantu
Suaranya merdu
Hu hu, hu hu, hu hu hu
Hu hu, hu hu, hu hu hu.
I have the Chinese characters, but not the Hanyu Pinyin, and I don’t read Hanzi much yet
Thanks.
Stefani.
