It seems embarrassing for me to search and download children songs. Hahahaha ... yeah I am already 20 years old and still interested in children stuff :p But I'm not childish of course ^^. Maybe you have a little brother or sister, even children. I know you always teach them with children song based on which country you are from and   can be western children song. But how about teaching something unique and new ? Let's introduce them to children Korean song. Children Korean Songs have a cute dance and lyrics. Even I'm still practicing ' Three Bears ' dance. hahahahaha ...

Ok let's check what Korean children songs that you can introduce to your little siblings or even your children !

1. Three Bears ( Gom Se Ma Ri Ga )

If you have watched ' Full House ', famous Korean drama, you must know the scene when Han Ji Eun ( Song Hye Kyo ) danced and sang ' Three Bears ' song. This song is telling about a bear family. There are father bear, mother bear, and kid bear.

Check this video :


And here is the lyric :

Gom se ma ri ga ( There is a three bears )
Han jib e i sso ( Live in one house )
Appa gom ( Father bear )
Eomma gom ( Mother Bear )
Aegi gom ( Kiddy Bear )
Appa gom eun ttung ttung hae ( Father Bear is so fat )
Eomma gom eun nal shin hae ( Mother bear is so slim )
Ae gi gom eun na bul gwi yo wo ( Kiddy bear is so cute until I could die )
Hishuk hishuk chal han da ( We are happy family )


2. I Love You

This song lyric is so difficult. It just say saranghae ( I love you ) and norae ( song ). Of course this song tells us about loving each other. Check this video :



The lyric :

saranghae norae
norae saranghae
saranghae norae
norae saranghae
saranghae saranghae saranghae saranghae
norae norae saranghae


Simple to sing and teach it right ? Hmm ... but there's no exact dance in this video. You can make your own move then ^^

3. Korean Number Song

This song is inviting us to learn Korean number with this cute song. The lyric is interesting, but I think the rhythm is fast. I think before you teach it to your little siblings or children, you can sing it by yourself then after you're expert on practice this song, then you can teach it to them. Hahahaha.

Check this out !



Here is the lyric :


1 and 2 and 3 and 4 ... 2x
il ( 1 ) .. ilchorado anbo imyeon
i (2) .. ireohkae chojphandae
sam (3) .. samchoneun eottohkae gidaryeo 
iya iya iya iya
sa (4) .. saranghae neol saranghae
o (5) .. oneureun malhalgeoya
yuk (6) .. yuk sib eok jigueso
neol mannan geon
chil (7) .. lucky
saranghae .. yogi jogi han neun balji malgo nareulbwa
joahae .. neoreul hyanghae utneun miso
meil meil boyeojwo
bbal (8) .. bbalddak bbalddak dwineun gadeul
gu (9) .. guhejwo oneul maeum
sib (10) .. sib nyeon i gado neoreul saranghae
eonjaena i mam byeonji anheulgae



4. Olchaengi Song 

This song is showing you a cute move. I don't know exactly what they mean in this song. But I love the dance and cute lyric and rhythm !



Here is the lyric :


adpole in the brook, swimming in the brook
개울가에 올챙이 한마리 ( gae ul ga e ol chaengi hanmari )
Wriggle wriggle swimming in the brook
꼬물 꼬물 헤엄치다 ( kko mul kkomul heomchida )
Hind legs out, fore legs out hopping hopping turn into a frog
뒷다리가 쑥, 앞다리가 쑥, 팔딱 팔딱 개구리 됐네 ( dwitdarigassuk, appdarigassuk, ppaldak ppaldak gaeguridwaetne )
Wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle tadpole in the brook
꼬물 꼬물 꼬물 꼬물 꼬물 꼬물 올챙이가 ( kkomul kkomul kkomul kkomul kkomul kkomul olchaengiga )
Hind legs out, fore legs out hopping hopping turn into a frog.
뒷다리가 쑥, 앞다리가 쑥, 팔딱 팔딱 개구리 됐네 ( dwitdarigassuk, appdarigasuk, ppaldak ppaldak gaeguridwaetne )

5. Carrot Song
