Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Lyrics as Performed by ‘The Green Orbs’

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
 

When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
 

Sing Together with your Kids. 

Do the following action game with your kids and babies during birthday parties, school games and other kid’s activities, which I learned when I was a very small kid in my nursery. Sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with actions:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star - open and close hands fingers with every word
How I wonder what you are - look up the sky and point to your head with a finger
Up above the world so high - reach up to the sky
Like a diamond in the sky - make a diamond shape with your two hands

Twinkle, twinkle, little star - open and close hands fingers with every word
How I wonder what you are - look up the sky and point to your head with a finger

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star – History 

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, described "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" as a popular English lullaby. The lyrics are from an early-19th-century English poem by Jane Taylor, The Star.

The poem (I didn’t know it was originally a poem), which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Jane Taylor and her sister Ann.

The song is in the public domain and has many adaptations around the world.

The English lyrics, below, was first written as a poem by Jane Taylor (1783–1824) and published with the title "The Star" in ‘Rhymes for the Nursery’ by Jane and her sister Ann Taylor (1782–1866) in London in 1806: 

Twinkle twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the trav’ller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often thro’ my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

‘Tis your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the trav’ller in the dark,
Tho’ I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Nursery Rhyme Analyses

By Dr. Don Vescio, Worcester State Univ., dvescio@worcester.edu

 

Dr. Don Vescio’s analysis on this famous nursery rhyme says that the poem or song; ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ has a deeper meaning to it than just a song about making a wish. The line "Up above the world so high" shows a sign of power and opportunity. Also, it proves that politics think they are above typical people and therefore think that they are more powerful than other people. Whereas the line "How I wonder what you are!" shows that many people don't know what happens in politics and power because they are so shady about what happens.

The above analysis is so political; hope we can find another interpretation. But what can we do if Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’s lyrics are from the early-19th-century where major part of several reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform and women's rights.

Children Songs with Similar Melody 

The three sets of lyrics for children that all share a common melody are the ABC SongTwinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Black Sheep. These are all variations of a 1761 French melody called Ah vous dirais-je, Maman by Bouin. Many people think Mozart composed this melody.

I am sure there are other nursery rhymes and kid’s songs that have similar melodies. Do you know of any? Write them down in the comment below and let’s see if there are songs with same melody or tunes – that we and our children can sing together.
