Two Little Tigers: A Dragon Boat Festival English Song

Two Little Tigers, a modified version of the traditional Chinese song '两只老虎' (Liǎng zhī lǎohǔ), is a popular song for children during the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节). Here is an adaptation of the lyrics in English:

Two little tigers, two little tigers, Jumping up and down, jumping up and down. One is black, one is orange, Jumping up and down, jumping up and down.

Jumping on the boat, jumping on the boat, Rowing to the beat, rowing to the beat. Paddling fast, paddling slow, Rowing to the beat, rowing to the beat.

Dragon boats racing, dragon boats racing, Gliding on the water, gliding on the water. Cheering loud, cheering proud, Gliding on the water, gliding on the water.

Eating sticky rice, eating sticky rice, Wrapped in bamboo leaves, wrapped in bamboo leaves. Filled with joy, filled with delight, Wrapped in bamboo leaves, wrapped in bamboo leaves.

Dragon Boat Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Celebrating with glee, celebrating with glee. Remembering Qu Yuan, remembering our roots, Celebrating with glee, celebrating with glee.

This modified version of '两只老虎' is a fun and educational way to introduce children to the customs and traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival while incorporating English lyrics.
