Need name of Arabic children's song:children hold hands in circle and sing of opening and closing like flowers

Question

I am a teacher looking for the name and/or words to an Arabic children's song. I was told this song was brought over from Palastine by a family member of one of my students. I often hear them singing it and would like to find out more about it and have unsuccessfully tried to find out from their families. I have asked other colleagues of Arabic ethnicity about the song, but my colleagues do not recognize it. Does anyone know what I am referring to? Any information would be helpful!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

yeah, we all used to sing this song when we were kids, it says "fatahy ya warda afely ya warda...":)
