Description: Lyrics and translations of folksongs in several languages.
All are in Portable Document Format; those in include transcription. Suggestions and (especially) corrections are always welcome and eagerly solicited. A dot under h denotes the sound of Hebrew khaf or khet. Dots under t, s, z, or d denote the "emphatic" Arabic velar consonants. Push them forward in your mouth, "darken" the following vowel, and don't worry about it too much since no non-native speaker can pronounce them correctly anyway. A dot under g is the Arabic ghayin; pretend like you're gargling. Apostrophe is used for punctuation and for glottal stop (e.g. hamza). Backquote is used for Arabic or Yemenite `ayin, though I often forget and use a regular apostrophe. Emphasis is on helping you sing along rather than on linguistic or phonological accuracy. Translations tend to be more literal than poetic, but considerable liberty is often taken in order to convey the sense.
