Bu Oyun, ne guzel
Hazir olsun parmaklar
Haydi simdi baslayin
Parmarklari siklatin
Sing a song, make a tune,
Let the rhythm move your hands
Come together all of you
Snap your fingers gently now
Bu Oyun ne guzel
Hazir olsun eller
Haydi simdi baslayin
Ellerimiz saklasin
Sing a song, make a tune
Let the rhythm move your hands
Come together all of you
Clap your hands, clap your hands
Bu Oyun, ne guzel
Hazir olsun parmaklar
Haydi simdi baslayin
Parmarklari siklatin
