Songs have great significance in the World of Avatar and are widely enjoyed. These generally seem to be folk songs; simple melodies that are easy to follow and appreciate.

="Set My Lines By The Riverbed" =

Performed by: Tho


 * Set my lines by the river bed
 * Caught ten fish and I killed 'em dead
 * Cut 'em and gut 'em and I tossed the heads
 * In the water to keep them cat-gators fed

Tho sang this song to pass the time and in celebration of his and his friends' freshly caught dinner that happened to be Appa.

"Badgermoles"


Performed by: Sokka and Chong


 * Badgermoles coming toward me,
 * Come on guys help me out...
 * The big bad badgermoles, who earthbend the tunnels,
 * Hate the wolfbats, but love the sounds.

Sokka and Chong performed this tune to tame wild badgermoles and to stop the badgermoles from killing them.

"Don't Fall in Love with the Traveling Girl"

"Don't Let the Cave-in Get You Down, Sokka"
Performed by: Chong


 * Oh, don't let the cave-in get you down.
 * Don't let the falling rocks turn your smile into a frown.
 * When the tunnels are darkest that's when you need a clown, hey!
 * Don't let the cave-in get you down, Sokka!

Chong performed this song to not let the cave-in discourage Sokka, but was unsuccessful.

"Fire Nation National Anthem"


Performed by: Fire Nation Man


 * Fire Lord
 * My flame burns for thee.
 * (The rest is unknown.)

This song was sung by Fire Nation Man before a fight against The Boulder at Earth Rumble VI. Although this song is said to be the Fire Nation National Anthem, the singer is not actually from the Fire Nation, so it is unknown if this is the real national anthem or if the Fire Nation even has a national anthem.

"Four Seasons"


Performed by: Iroh


 * Winter, spring,
 * Summer and fall.
 * Winter, spring,
 * Summer and fall
 * Four seasons,
 * Four loves.
 * Four seasons,

"Girls from Ba Sing Se"


Performed by: Iroh


 * It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se

Iroh sang this song to entertain a passersby to earn money.

"Leaves from the Vine"

Episode: "Tales of Ba Sing Se"


 * Leaves from the vine
 * Falling so slow
 * Like fragile, tiny shells
 * Drifting in the foam
 * Little soldier boy
 * Come marching home
 * Brave soldier boy
 * Comes marching home

"Leaves from the Vine", a popular children's song, like a lullaby, in the Fire Nation's vernacular, is a song that Iroh sang in remembrance of his deceased son, Lu Ten, on the latter's birthday. He also sang it in the marketplace of Ba Sing Se to help calm down a crying boy.

"Love is in Your Heart"

 * Even if you're lost you can't,
 * Lose the love because it's in your heart.
