Musunde Hiraite Posted by Ginny on Jan 22, 2011 in Uncategorized
There is a cute Japanese children’s song called Musunde Hiraite (むすんでひらいて). Here is a video of the song. Note that the hand motions go along with the song.

むすんで (musunde) Clench the palms together
開いて (hiraite) Open them
手を打って (te o utte) Clap your hands together
むすんで (musunde) Clench the palms together
また開いて (mata hiraite) Open them again
手を打って (te o utte) Clap your hands together
その手を (sono te o ue ni) Put these hands up
むすんで (musunde) Clench the palms together
開いて (hiraite) Open them
手を打って (te o utte) Clap your hands together
むすんで (musunde) Clench the palms together

I have heard a song that is to the musunde hiraite tune, except it teacher classroom instructions. Do you know the lyrics?

thank you so much for posting this! we have Japanese story time at the local library and I couldn’t learn the songs just from hearing them, reading the lyrics makes it much easier.
