This was a great South African song and it's a nice way to teach kids some phonics. I would love to hear how you guys translate this classic into English. I want to teach it to my kids this summer vacation. It doesn't matter if it's not the original lyrics. Something like: "Sarah said Sarah would sing a song for Simon...." You get my point? Let's see how creative David, Diesel, Kim, glynis18, orion, Dragongirl and all you other beautiful rainbow people really are.

Vango: I need an English translation for that. Seems like you didn't bother to read the whole question, hey?

To all: df382's effort is well worth 10 points, but I think you guys can do better. And df382 as well. Remember that it doesn't have to be the exact words used. You can use other words and ideas as well. You should however be able to sing it to the same tune and it should also focus on the "s-sound".

How about this translation?:
Susan said Sammy wil surf on Sunday, Sunday dear Sammy wil surf the sun.

I love this tongue-twister! My husband tought it to me and I think he really regrets it... I don't speak Afrikaans, but I'm a native German and with a bit of Phantasie I get to understand the meaning. I would translate it like this:
Sunny says Sunny shal carry seven bags of salt without Sunny saying that Sari carries heavy.
Sounds much nicer in Afrikaans.... And who are Sunny and Sari anyway??
Oh by the way, the afrikaans version I ment was (can't spell it right!!!): Sannie sais Sannie sal sewe sakke sout slep sonner Sannie sais sa Sari slep swar.

Sannie se Sannie sal sewe sakke sout sleep
Sannie se sy se Sannie sleep swaar
Sannie se Sannie sal sewe sakke sout sleep
Sewe sakke sout is swaar sowaar

This takes me back many years. I think the singer was Carika Keuzenkamp.
This is my best effort - I can't come up with another word for heavy (swaar) that will fit the rhyme scheme so I've used far.
Sunny says Sunny shall seven sacks salt schlep
Sunny says, she says Sunny schleps far
Sunny says Sunny shall seven sacks salt schlep
Seven sacks of salt are way too far

It's possible to spend lots of time and income looking for ways to train your young ones how to learn and enhance their reading skills. Is difficult to instruct a tiny child how to learn, and actually tempting them to read is challenging in itself. But it doesn't need to be like that when you got assistance from the program https://tr.im/dun31 , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you can teach your son or daughter how to split up sounds and break phrases into phonemes, a vital point as soon as your kid is just learning to spell.
The studying program from Children Learning Reading program allows you for kids to learn easily and effectively, from simple words to sentences until they learn to learn stories.
