Thread Name: Lyr Add: Twinkle, twinkle little star.
Subject: Multilingual site: more trans. of Twinkle, Twinkle
Another Latin version, from Multilingual Songs for Children site:
Stella, bella, mi mica.
Miror quid sis natura.
Resplendes ex spatio
Velut gemma in caelo.
Stella, bella, mi mica.
Miror quid sis natura.
That site also has the children's parody
Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Light
Shining on the Corner Bright
Red means stop
Green means go
yellow means go, very slow.
twinkle twinkle traffic light
shining on the corner bright
as well as Dutch ('Altijd is kortjakje ziek'), Finnish ('Tuiki, tuiki tähtönen'), German ('Funkle, funkle, kleiner Stern') and Swedish ('Blinka, blinka lilla Stjärna') versions. I don't know much Dutch, but that does not look like the same song to me. It may be sung to same tune, but that's about all.
