Arabic term or phrase: اشكم اوپاشي
This is a name of an Iraqi kids' folk song sung while playing something similar to Tug of War. I am not sure if it is Arabic (at least the name). If anyone is familiar with the song, would you please tell me what the title means. I only have the following transliteration of the lyrics:
Ash-kom ba-she
Ya-hul yi-dji-ni
Khel-yi-dji yem-mi
El-we-reh gid-dam
