Let's exercise

I found this video and have been showing it to Aelig. She loves it.
It shows a bunch of animated animals doing exercise, in Japanese. We try to do it with Aelig but she only managed to sing "ni san". Hopefully she will get the synchronized moves soon.

Here is the video:


I got a friend translated the lyrics for me, I would like to share them here.

Title
Japanese: まねき猫(ねこ)タック子供(こども)体操(たいそう)
Mandarin: 貓與鴨子小孩子作體操
English: Cat, duck and children exercising

Song
First line is in Japanese
Second line is Japanese pronunciation
Third line is in Mandarin
Fourth line is in English


猫 も  アヒル も  皆  一緒に  他招き 猫 タック 子供 体操 
neko mo ahiru mo min na ishouni tamaneki neko ta-ku kodomo taisou
貓和鴨子和大家一起 邀請小朋友作體操
cat, duck, together with everyone is inviting children to do exercise

体  を  動かそう   心  を  動かそう  他招き 猫 タック 子供 体操
karata wo  ugo kasou kokoro wo ugo kasou tamaneki neko  ta-ku kodomo taisou
身體活動活動 心活動活動 邀請貓鴨子小朋友作體操
Moving moving the body, moving moving the heart, inviting cat, duck and children to do exercise

1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3
ichi ni san ni ni san san ni san yonn ni san
一二三 二二三 三二三 四二三
One two three, two two three, three two three, four two three

La la la la
啦~ 啦~ 啦~啦~~~

猫 も  アヒル も  皆  一緒に  他招き 猫 タック 子供 体操 
neko mo ahiru mo min na ishouni tamaneki neko ta-ku kodomo taisou
貓和鴨子和大家一起 邀請小朋友作體操
cat, duck, together with everyone is inviting children to do exercise

体  を  動かそう   心  を  動かそう  他招き 猫 タック 子供 体操

身體活動活動 心活動活動 邀請貓鴨子小朋友作體操
Moving moving the body, moving moving the heart, inviting cat, duck and children to do exercise

Some explanations:
鴨子=アヒル ahiru 日本語 = Duck (Japanese pronunciation)
Duck =タック duck 外來語 (也就是英文或其他國語言直接音譯) = Duck (English pronunciation)
被邀請=他招き tamaneki = being invited
孩子=子供 kodomo = children
貓= ねこ neko = cat
身體=体 karada = body
心= こころ kokoro = heart
大家=皆 min na = everyone
一起= 一緒に ishouni = together
身體活動=動かそう ugokasou = moving moving the body

Hope you enjoy this video as much as we do.
