This is for the Swedish interpretation of the spelling, blåhaj is also a popular child's song in Sweden.

The å is pronounced almost exactly like the English word 'awe'.

j in Swedish makes the sound of English’s y

Blå haj is then pronounced as - 'bloa high'

Maybe for the British. Å is pronounced like the beginning of "oar" or the middle of "four".
