"Taba Naba" is a children's song originating in the Torres Strait Islands just north of the continent of Australia. This song is usually accompanied by a "sit-down dance" where the "dancers" perform traditional movements corresponding to the lyrics.

The song is a traditional song in Meriam Mir, a language of the Torres Strait Islanders.

Lyrics

Taba naba naba norem

Tugei penaisir mi

Dinghy em nabatre

Miko keimi

Serere nabare

Taba naba norem style s.t.y.l.e

(repeated 3 times)

Translation:

Come on let's go to the reef

Get into the dinghy when the morning tide is low

Let us row to the edge of the reef

Come on let's go to the reef.

Popular culture

Australian pop singer and Eastern Torres Strait native Christine Anu sang "Taba Naba" on It's a Wiggly Wiggly World, an album by The Wiggles. On the related video she performed gestures that go along with the song. The song would soon be featured again in two TV series (Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles! and Ready, Steady, Wiggle!), Wiggle Town and Duets (with Christine Anu returning).

In Brazil, the Brazilian singer Xuxa (pronounced Shoo Sha) recorded the song from your album Xuxa Só Para Baixinhos 4 (English: Xuxa only for kids 4)
