A delightful children's song, a chant to friendship, a shared experience: "A Ram Sam Sam Sam" is a silly bit of music, with gestures, for kids to sing in a group or as a round:
A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
A rafiq, a rafiq
Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
A rafiq, a rafiq
Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
The words are not quite meaningless — guli = "tell me" and a rafiq = "friend" — but of course that's not the point. It's the sounds that count!
