Wow that’s a tall order. I’m not brave enough to do that. But there must be at least one brave soul on this forum to take on this challenge.

Two Michaels were dancing, one big the other small
When the big one started pacing, the small one couldn't catch up
When the small one couldn't catch up
Then the big one stopped pacing
And when the big one stopped pacing
then the little one caught up.
And when the little one caught up
then the big one started pacing
And when the big one started pacing, then the little one couldn't catch up.
The little Michael could barely breath
The Big Michael was pushing him
Untill they both fell on the floor
The two dancing Michaels

Piorun - just a break down of the first paragraph, not the entire rhyme! :) Krysia - Thank you so much for the translation. It really is a silly rhyme! LOL!

Two Michaels went to the ball
One was short - the other tall
When the tall one started prancing
The short one could not keep up dancing

When the short one could not keep up dancing
The tall one stopped prancing
When the tall one stopped prancing
The short one started dancing

When short one could keep up dancing
The tall one started prancing
When tall one started prancing
The short one could not keep up dancing

The short one started to whoosh
The tall one gives him a push
Both Michaels started to fall
Two Michaels at the ball

This is just a rough draft but you get the sense of it I would also change the next to last line to something like They push they shove they fall

Yes, that's a good one. Here's another one: Na stoliczku stoi mleczko i jajeczko. Przyszedł kotek, wypił mleczko a ogonkiem stłukł jajeczko.

Piorun, i know that rhyme! Listen to this one: entliczek pentliczek, czerwony stoliczek, a na tym stoliczku czerwony koszyczek w koszyczku jabluszko, w jabluszku robaczek... and on and on! Any one else know any good ones? Hey, i know one with the clapping, but i forgot how it went. Dang!

Krysia, yours is good too! No afence but it goes like this: w pokojiku na stoliczku siedzie mleczko i jajeczko, przyszedl kotek, wypil mlecka, a ogonkiem stuk jajeczko Przyszla babcia, zbila kotka, a skorupki wyrzucila! There you go! (- -,)

Quoting: HotShot989 Any one else know any good ones? I can remember the words, but there's the one about the man who lost his glasses. I heard that one every night as a little kid. :]

Something like a guy who was looking for his glasses, and at the end he had them on the whoole time! Yeah, i know that one!

What about this one?:

Tancowala igla z nitka,
igla pieknie - nitka brzydko
igla cala jak z igielki
nitce placza sie supelki,
igla naprzod, nitka za nia,
a za igla nitka biegiem igla gorem, nitka bokiem.
Ogla zerka jednym okiem,
sunie zwinna zreczna smigla
Nitka szepce "co za igla!"
Tak ze soba tancowaly, az uszyly fartuch caly!

That took 4-ever! (- -,)

Nice to see the ryhmes you put out. I am trying to learn polish. Can you help? I am in London and fluent in English. Let me hear from you pls. Jk

hey neemo - welcome to the funny-animal-bird-(now fish)-and-other-lovely-creature-farm. lots of help available on the forums - check out the language sections. i have gotten most help by asking direct questions. are you having lessons? for me, that is the best way - pronounciation can be really difficult, but it's possible to develop an ear for that if you hear polish a lot. I'm in Warsaw, so that's the easy part for me - the grammar is a nightmare though. You can ask anybody around here how many silly questions I have asked on these pages ;)

I was taught a poem by my Grandfather who was born in Poland. He would lay on his back and sit me on his knees up in the air and say (cant spell the words they are phonetic)
Jedji aujes
dovo shawve
Pot’zo
Pa Boote
yez un ye shiz te
Potch de goodi
then piont at the sky and when I would look up he would say “PIC”
And spread his knees and I would fall through on to a pillow.

It was lots of fun and My Daughter loves it but I have no Idea what it means, something like;
Where are you going?
I’m going to Warsaw
What for?
To get boots
Then I have no idea, please help keep a tradition alive.

well, I don't know this text, but with the help of your translation, I'd say it's (properly spelled in Polish): Gdzie jedziesz? Do Warszawy. Po co? Po buty. yez un ye shiz te (no idea what it is) Patrz do góry (Look up - i.e. in the direction upwards)

Krzysztof wrote: yez un ye shiz te (no idea what it is) Just a guess, could it be 'już je szyją' or 'już są szyte' ?

Dziobała kokoszka jagiełki, (naśladujemy palcem wskazującym dziobanie kokoszki na dłoni dziecka)
Poleciała do wodeczki,
Przyniosła cztery jagódeczki,
Temu dała, temu dała... (dotykamy po kolei czterech paluszków dziecka)
A temu - fru, odleciała i nic nie dała. (naśladujemy odlot kokoszki)

Tu pień, (naśladujemy piłowanie drewna na nadgarstku dziecka)
tu kłoda. (naśladujemy piłowanie drewna na zgięciu łokcia dziecka)
Tu pień, (powtarzamy)
Tu kłoda.
A tu, tu, tu zimna woda. (delikatnie łaskoczemy dziecko pod pachą)

Does this one ring any bells? I'm sorry, I don't know how it's written; this is as close as I can come phonetically. Id-je bo-ba po-zhe le-zhe je-nay vi-zhe to-vay le-dje What's the Polish? And what does it mean in English?

in polish, you read:
o's like you're going to say "oh" without the w sound at the end. cut it short =]
e's like you're going to say "eh" (not canadian eh lol but the sound you make when you're confused)
a's like you've really enjoyed your drink.."ah"
y's like the short i sound in "dig"
try to roll your r's =]
so...

ah-ah-ah koht-kee dvah
shah-roh boo-reh oh-bid-vah
neets nyeh behw-dough ro-bee-wi (<---short "i" sound)
til-koh ............. bah-vee-wi (<---short "i" sound)

Hello
I wonder if you could help me witha polish song my grandfather used to sing to me as a child? I do not speak polish or have any connections with the polish side of my family, but remember that my grandfather was a kind old man and have vague memories of the songs he sang. Please excuse my attempt to write phonetically.

vashiwa vashiwa
mishca crupki
daw --------- pupki
temo dawa bo malutki
temo dawa bo swajutki
temo bo proshu
a temo bo vo da noshku

Any ideas?

Another started Hinka tu hinka tum

Very vague I know and perhaps I am mixing a few songs together.

My mother in law taught one to her children and now is teaching me.....she doesn't know the actual translation but she says it's pretty much the Lithuanian version of "This little Piggy".

Forgive my ebonics here.

Mama mama vida kosha
Tom dava, Tom dava, Tom dava, Tom dava ( for each finger or toe except the last one)
ada mijooka negava, isjinks catastadas
bida bida bida bida ( as you run up the arm to the pit)

makes the kids laugh like crazy.

if anyone could give me the real words and translation i'd really love it !!! thanks.
