| Summary: | The folk songs of Iraqi children have been passed from one young generation to the next. Iraqi children acquired the lion's share of these songs from one another. As a result, the tunes retained unique styles of speech and venerable lexical items that sharply reflected the perspectives of the youth of the day. Although song lyrics were everchanging along with slight variations in melody, over the course of time the substance and the spirit of these songs remained unchanged and the songs continued to reflect the way Iraqi children looked at themselves and their surroundings. I have collected these songs from different sources, including journals, books and periodicals. This collection contains songs of religious occasions (20 songs), the sun, the moon and the rain, (15 songs), animals, birds and insects (37 songs) and teasing and taunting (32 songs). |
