アルプスの少女ハイジ theme song

アルプスの少女ハイジ theme song, also called in Japan Oshiete "おしえて" (Japanese for "Say me...", or more accurately "Tell me..."), is the most internationally recognized song from the popular animated series. The song's lyrics were written by Japanese writer and translator Eriko Kishida; It was composed by Takeo Watanabe, with arrangements by Yushi Matsuyama. The theme was performed by the Japanese singer Kayo Ishū, along with Nellie Schwartz, who performed the song's yodeling, which remained intact in several versions.

The song tries to reflect Heidi's curiosity, facing this new world that she is discovering. She is fascinated from the beginning, for which she asks her grandpa to explain what she sees, since she is amazed.

The song's instrumental was recorded with French horns and harps in Switzerland, and later mixed in Japan with the singing voice of Kayo Ishū. The theme song was a smash hit, selling over a million disc copies in Japan and Europe.

As with many other Japanese animated series, there are various other arrangements of the theme song depending on the region.

 * Singers: Kayo Ishū, and Nellie Schwartz (yodeling)

This theme song is used in all 52 episodes of the series. Originally, it was used between January 6, 1974, and December 29, 1974, the anime's original airing period.

As will be seen below, the theme song received several dubs. In Spain, despite the fact that a version translated into Spanish would later be published on discs, it aired the opening in Japanese, both in its original broadcast, as well as in subsequent broadcasts and current reruns, on YouTube.

Portuguese (Brasil)
There are two versions of the Brazilian opening. One that was shown in the early years of the SBT channel (called TVS at the time), which uses a different instrumental, but based in original; and the most modern version, which uses the original Japanese instrumental. The adaptation of the first opening was composed by Emerson Aragão and Agnaldo Dantas. The translation of the lyrics was made by Marcelo Duran. The lyrics of both versions are exactly the same, translated directly from the European Spanish version.

The song in Brazil receives the name "A Patotinha", for its classic version. Meanwhile, the most modern and well-known adaptation is known for the chorus that gives it its name: "Vovozinho, diga-me" (Portuguese for: Grandpa, say me...)

Portuguese (European, RTP)
Opening used by channel I Program (currently RTP 1), for the last 26 episodes of the series, which were the only ones that received dub in this version, the rest being broadcast subtitled. Like the same dub, it is based on the European Spanish version, although it translates a different strophe of the song, which is not the same one used in other translations, or the original version. This version also includes a different yodei chant.

This would be the only opening of the many dubs produced in Portugal that was based on the Japanese, since all the others are based on the German version.

Spanish
"Abuelito, dime tú" (Spanish for "Grandpa, tell me"), is the name by which this theme song is known in all Spanish-speaking countries. Its popularity has been such that dozens of albums have been released in different Hispanic countries such as Mexico, Chile, and Spain itself, and today, it is still often used as a children's song. The translation of the theme song comes from Spain. This was not shown on its television broadcast, but it was released in 1975, immediately after the series ended, resulting in great success. The translation of the lyrics was the work of the Spanish composer Carlos Ramón-Amart.

The translation was reused by the Latin American Spanish version, making the lyrics of both versions exactly the same.

هايدي (Arabic Opening)

 * Singers: Sameera Nimri

Heidi Arabic dub was co-produced in Kuwait and the United States, with mixing and musical post-production being done on American territory. The work team located in Hollywood was made up of mainly Jordanian, Egyptian and Lebanese personal. The Egyptian composer Adel Asfour composed a complete soundtrack for this dub, which is quite atypical, compared to other international versions, consisting of several songs, in a traditional Arabic style, and with typical instruments of Middle Eastern music, including the opening and credits. All the songs sung are interpreted by the Jordanian singer Sameera Nimri.

In the Arab World, this theme song is used in all 52 episodes of the series. This song is very popular among the Arab audience, being by many the most recognizable song on the show, to the point that many Arabs are not familiar with other versions, such as the German, or Japanese, unusual for them.
