Kiedy byłam jeszcze mała myszki bałam się, chociaż myszka uciekała bo się bała mnie. Teraz ja się jej nie boję i nie kryję się Kiedy biegnie przez pokoje i do dziurki mknie.

nieboraczek is diminutive of nieborak = poor wretch, poor soul

This is my first time on this site; I was trying to find Polish nursery rhymes. I'm so excited I found this!

My grandma taught me a couple...was wondering if they were real. Here's the first one:

It's about a puppy smoking a pipe and a cole fell on his paw and up popped a blister.

phonetically:
Polu pi eski fi etska; spazu sobia wa petska; vedmuha sobia vangelic-hah! Visketsu mubumbelic

The second one:
I was going to school and stopped at my grandparents' house. Grandma gave me an apple. Grandpa gave me some tobaco. Hahahaha

phonetically:
kay zyuu, may zyuu, poijimi daw bopchi, bopcha daw yapko, jaja daw tobatski, pyseka pyseka pyseka

I probably butchered it!

the first one goes:

Palił piesek fajeczkę, sparzył sobie łapeczkę
Wydmuchał sobie węgielek, wyskoczył mu bąbelek.
A doggy smoked a pipe, he burnt his paw; He blew a little coal (out of the pipe), and there grew a blister.

the rhyme is in a dialect, the words i have put are standard Polish and sound a bit different; i have omitted the exclamation - curious myself how this should sound :)

the second one can goe like this but I may be wrong

Kaziu, Madziu, pójdźmy do babci;
Babcia da jabłko, dziadzia da tabaczki
pyszka, pyszka, pyszka (This is pure guess - would be like delightful, delightful, delightful)

Kaziu, Madziu are kids' names - but it is a guess what really is in the rhyme are these names; again the pronounciation you give is a dialectal

Still looking for the actual translation and proper spelling on this one my mother in law taught me. Here it is phonetically.

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.

look at the first page of this thread, there's a similar question in this post (link)
and you'll some answers below (page 1, but also page 2 - aguha's post, there are many different versions of this text, so you have to choose the one that has most resemblance to what you remember.

btw, Aguha wrote:

A MAGPIE MEASURED
HER PORRIDGE

that's incorrect, she got confused with another verb ("ważyła" - she weighted), but "warzyła" has nothing to do with measurements (weight), "warzyć" means "to boil, to cook" ("gotować" in modern Polish), the pronounciation of "ż" and "rz" is identical, hence the error.

My mom used to sing this to me, but she doesn't speak Polish, so it could be made up. This is what it sounds like (excuse the phonetics): Kooshi kooshi wop-she Boya jem-no bop-she Bop-sha nomna nee-kla Kooshi kooshi wop-she No idea if it's a real song or just made-up. Thanks!

It goes sort of like this: Czapu czapu czapu czap deszic sobie pada and then there's a part about a king and queen.... it would be really good if someone knows it because for the life of me i can't remember :( Nata x

Hey, I'm new here... My grandma taught me a rhyme for my daughter that she used to say to my dad about a mouse, I think the translation is Abraham, don't go there, or the mouse will bite you "chomp" I cant spell it in polish, but I'll sound it out Ah-bra-ham Nyeh Each Tum Bwo Ghee Mishka Zra Be "CHOMP" is this right? If so how do I spell the rhyme in Polish???

Help with Polish nursery rhyme

I too am looking to find out about a nursery rhyme that my grandmother used to sing to me. In my memory it sounded like this:
Ah Ah kokti dva stadi budi obi dwa bole chele dola su ano meenie how a su

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and perhaps what it means in english?

This is a short lullaby (well a short version of a longer one)

Aaa, kotki dwa,
szarobure obydwa,
poleciały do lasu,
narobiły hałasu.

Aaa, kittens two,
both are greybrown,
they ran to the woods,
and made a lot of noise.

I am looking for a polish nursery rhyme...its about a teddy bear traveling and goes pee...does any one have the lyrics? its four lines, the last word of the 3rd is misiu, the last word of the 4th is shosho

majamisiu:

about a teddy bear traveling and goes pee

Jedziemy na wycieczkę,
bierzemy misia w teczkę,
a misiu fiku-miku
narobił w teczkę siku.

Some other rhymes (maybe already posted, I'm not sure, don't feel like reading the whole thread again):

My jesteśmy krasnoludki,
Hopsa sa! Hopsa sa!
Pod grzybkami nasze budki,
Hopsa sa! Hopsa sa!
------------------------------------
Ślimak, ślimak pokaż rogi
Dam ci sera na pierogi
------------------------------------
Siała baba mak,
Nie wiedziała jak
Dziadek wiedział, nie powiedział,
A to było tak...
------------------------------------
Wlazł kotek na płotek i mruga,
Ładna to piosenka nie długa,
Nie długa, nie krótka a w sam raz,
Zaśpiewaj koteczku jeszcze raz
------------------------------------
W pokoiku na stoliku
stało mleczko i jajeczko.
Przyszedł kotek wypił mleczko
a ogonkiem stłukł jajeczko.
Przyszła mama kotka zbiła
a skorupki wyrzuciła.

------------------------------------
And a bonus - „Stary niedźwiedź mocno śpi” game/play

1. Children go around a center point.
2. In the center there lies/sits one child - „The Bear”.
3. The other children walk around him and sing:

Stary niedźwiedź mocno śpi,
stary niedźwiedź mocno śpi.
My się go boimy, na palcach chodzimy,
jak się zbudzi to nas zje,
jak się zbudzi to nas zje.

4. And then they say, not sing:

Pierwsza godzina - niedźwiedź sapie.

5. Nothing happens, „the bear” is still resting, making a little noise while breathing.

Druga godzina - niedźwiedź chrapie.

6. Nothing happens, „the bear” is still resting, but now making a louder noise - snoring.

Trzecia godzina - niedźwiedź łapie!

7. „The bear” catches one of the children.
8. The child who got caught becomes „the bear”.
9. And they start all over again, until every child has been „the bear” or until they are tired:)

My father used to tell us a rhyme similar to some others Kra, kra, woruna Dzieciom kaczkym parzyla (can't remember next bit) Temu dala, temu dale, temu dala (tapping youy fingers) A ztym "Frrrr!" i poleczala Can anyone help, explain, or complete?

popsy: woruna Most people know the version with sroka (magpie) not wrona (crow), but there are regional differences, so maybe where you father lived they used wrona instead of sroka :) Read my post from Mar 10, 15:34 hours and you'll find more info.

popsy	Aug 11, 09, 17:25 #115
Thanks, Krzysztof, very interesting. Can you give me a more exact rendition of the verse in Polish, please?

Alex Dabrowski	Aug 18, 09, 08:49 #116

My family is Lithuanian and we had a very similar says that you use the little piggy hand gestures. My parents roughly translated it into a mom stirring the porridge and giving it out to each childeren and the lastest one not getting any and running off. I would be interested if you get a real translation as my kids and I love it too.

psychojoey: czarna krowa w kropki bordo gryzla trawe krecac morda It's not a nursery rhyme but a tongue twister used to stress the hevy sounding semivowel "r", and it vibrates when it's prnouced in Polish words like "krowa." This semivowel is never used in English language and it's almost impossible for native English speakers to pronouce it corectly in Polish words.

Eurola:

Just some nursery rhymes...to sing and entertain a child.

"Kosi, kosi łapci.
pojedziemy do babci.
babcia da nam kaszki,
a dziadzio - okraszki

kosi kosi łapci
pojedziemy do babci
babcia da nam mleczka
dziadek cukiereczka

kosi kosi łapci
pojedziemy do babci
od babci do cioci
ciocia da łakoci"

Ja znam śmieszniejszą wersje tej piosenki (a different version)

Koći, Koći, łapći
Pojedźem do Babci
Babcia da pieroszka
A Dziadek papieroska
