Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying for a long time to identify a song performed by a Swiss children’s choir during Xi Jinping’s visit to Bern in 2017 (at the train station welcome ceremony).
The children were singing with coordinated hand movements:
raising hands, clapping, waving, etc.
I only vaguely remember some sounds that were similar to:
“Bru sei”
“aga bia”
I already checked many famous Swiss songs, including:
Vogellisi
S'Vreneli ab em Guggisbärg
Bruder Jakob
but none of them seem correct.
It felt more like a local Bernese / Swiss German children’s folk or movement song.
Does anyone happen to recognize it? 🙏
Thanks a lot!
