Good day, Buongiorno!
We (Rien, 67 years old and Karin, 60 years old) are starting students of the Italian language. We would like to support our studies with the help of music and (children's songs). We find many children's songs via this site, do you also have a tip where we can find the song lyrics (with translation into Dutch)?
thanks in advance for your response!

Beste Nothing,
There is no website that contains all this information, but some songs are international and you can find them in other languages as well.
For example, on this Italian website you will find the lyrics of many children's songs:
https://www.filastrocche.it/feste/canzoni-per-bambini/
At the bottom of some of them (e.g. https://www.filastrocche.it/contenuti/un-elefante-si-dondolava/ ) translations into other languages are also listed. Dutch is missing, but hopefully it will still be useful to you.
Thank you for your message!
