Song: Pieski Male Dwa
Singer: Katarzyna Krupecka
Lyrics:
Pieski małe dwa chciały przejść przez rzeczkę,
Nie wiedziały jak, znalazły kładeczkę,
Kładka była zła, skąpały się pieski dwa.
Pieski małe dwa poszły raz na łąkę,
Zobaczyły tam czerwoną biedronkę,
A biedronka ta mnóstwo czarnych kropek ma.
Pieski małe dwa bardzo się zdziwiły
O biedronkę tę omal się nie biły
Bo każdy z nich chciał, żeby ją dla siebie miał
Kiedy weszli w gąszcz, to się okazało,
Że to zwykły chrząszcz, dwóch piesków się dało
Nabrać na jej wdzięk, z dwóch serc słychać cichy jęk
Pieski małe dwa, chciały przejść się chwilkę,
Nie wiedziały jak, biegły przeszło milkę
I znalazły coś – taką dużą białą kość.
Pieski małe dwa wróciły do domu,
O przygodzie swej nie rzekły nikomu,
Wlazły w budę swą, teraz sobie smacznie śpią.
Translation:
Two little dogs wanted to go for a walk
They didn’t know how but they walked a whole mile.
And they found something: a big white bone.
Chorus
Si Bon si Bon trala lala la
Si Bon si Bon trala lala la.
Two little dogs wanted to cross the river
They didn’t know how, they found a plank of wood
And although it wasn’t strong enough
Two little dogs crossed over to the other side.
Chorus
Two little dogs went to the meadow
They found a red ladybird
And this ladybird had seven black dots
Chorus
Two little dogs returned home
Without telling anyone about their adventure
They climbed into their basket and now they are sound asleep.
Chorus

Song: Bajka Iskierki (Janina Prazińska)
Singer: Joanna Romanowikz
Lyrics:
Z popielnika na Wojtusia
iskiereczka mruga:
chodź, opowiem ci bajeczkę,
bajka będzie długa.
Była sobie Baba Jaga,
Miała chatkę z masła,
a w tej chatce same dziwy!…
Psst! Iskierka zgasła.
Była sobie raz królewna,
Polochała grajka,
Król wyprawił im wesele
i skończona bajka.
Translation:
From an ash pan at Alberty
Little sparkle twinkles
Come here, I’ll tell you a story
The story gon’ be long
Once upon a time Baba Yaga,
The witch had a butter cottage
In the cottage many strange things
The sparks from the fire went out
Once upon a time a princess
Fell in love with a busker
The king arranged a wedding for them
And the story ends

Then fix it, dear William, dear William, dear William,
Oh fix it, dear William, dear William, fix it.
With what shall I mend it?
With a straw…
But the straw is too long…
Then cut it…
With what shall I cut it?
With an axe…
The axe is too dull…
Then sharpen it…
On what shall I sharpen it?
On a stone…
But the stone is too dry…
Then wet it…
With what shall I wet it?
Try water…
In what shall I fetch it?
In a bucket…
But there’s a hole in my bucket, dear Brenda, dear Brenda…

Singer: Galina Uskov
Lyrics:
Мы едем, едем, едем в далёкие края,
Хорошие соседи, счастливые друзья!
Нам весело живётся, мы песенку поём,
А в песенке поётся о том, как мы живём!
Refren:
Тра-та-та, тра-та-та, мы везём с собой кота,
Чижика, собаку, петьку – забияку,
Обезьяну, попугая, вот – компания какая!
Вот – компания какая!
Когда живётся дружно, что может лучше быть?
И ссориться не нужно, и можно всех любить!
А если нас увидит, иль встретит кто нибудь,
Друзей он не обидит, он скажет: ” В добрый путь!”
Мы ехали, мы пели и с песенкой смешной
Все вместе, как сумели, приехали домой!
Нам солнышко светило, нас ветер обвевал,
В пути не скучно было, и каждый напевал
Transliteration
Mi yedem, yedem, yedem v dalyokiye kraya

Abez’yanu, papugaya, vot – kompaniya kakaya!
Vot – kompaniya kakaya!
Kagda zhivyotsya druzhna, chto mozhet luchshe bit’?
I ssorit’sya ne nuzhna, i mozhno vseh lyubit’!
A yesli nas uvidit, el’ vstretit kto nibud’
Druzei on ne obidit, on skazhet: “V dobriy put’!
Mi yehali, mi peli i s pesenkoi smeshnoi
Vse vmeste, kak sumeli, preyehali domoy!
Nam solnishka svetila, nas veter obveval
V puti ne skuchna bila, i kazhdiy napeval

They can help you when you need it.
Be happy and cheer with your friends

Singer: Marzena Majewska
Lyrics:
W górze tyle gwiazd
W dole tyle miast
Gwiazdy miastu dają znać,
że dzieci muszą spać.
Więc śpij kochanie
Jeśli gwiazdkę z nieba chcesz
Dostaniesz
Czego pragniesz
Daj mi znać
Ja Ci wszystko mogę dać
Więc dlaczego nie chcesz spać?
Ach Śpij, bo nocą
Kiedy gwiazdy się na niebie złocą
Wszystkie dzieci nawet złe
pogrążone są we śnie,
a Ty jeden tylko nie.
Aaaaa Aaaaa były sobie kotki dwa
Aaaaa kotki dwa
szaro-bure szaro-bure
obydwa
Ach śpij, bo właśnie
księżyc ziewa i za chwilę zaśnie
A gdy rano przyjdzie świt
Księżycowi będzie wstyd,
że on zasnął, a nie Ty!
że on zasnął… a… nie…. Ty……
Translation:
So many stars above
So many towns below
Stars let towns know
Children should go to sleep
So sleep my darling
If you want the star above
You can have it
Please tell me what it is you need
I can give you anything
So why can’t you fall asleep?
Ohhh sleep, because at night
When the stars shine bright
All children, even naughty ones
Are sleeping tight
Except you…
Aaaaa Aaaaa
Two little kittens run
Two kittens
Both are grey
Ohhh sleep,
Because right now even the moon yawns
And falls asleep.
And when the morning comes
The moon will be embarrassed
That it fell asleep and not you!

Translation:
Once upon a time there was a king named “Hobu Chondro”
He was the king of India and lived in Delhi.
His chief minister was “Gobu Chondro”,
Who was very intelligent and was famous in the country.
One day the king said, “Listen Mr Minister..
This country is full of dust, please do something about it.
There is dust everywhere; our hands and feet are getting dusty,
Our food is getting dusty, even our brains are getting dusty!
Please do something soon! Do something soon!!”
The minister said, “Please wait a bit”
The next day about 100,000 brooms started to clean the roads,
As a result the surroundings became so dusty that it became hard to breath!
Then the King called a meeting and asked for an immediate resolution.
Then the ministers asked to pour water to reduce the dust
As a result, the whole country became muddy!
All the rivers and ponds dried up and the fish started to die.
The air became very wet and even the king caught a cold.
The king started to say “Oh my God, I am dying! Where shall I go!
Don’t these ministers have any intellect at all?”
Then another “wise” man said, “Please listen carefully.
Cover the whole country with cow hide”
Then the king said, “Well, the idea is not bad. Summon all the skinners”
Whenever this proposal came to parliament,
All the MPs protested against the decision together
They said, “It is the sacred duty of the King to save the mother cow,
Hore Hore Bome Bome Bome Bome”
Then the King said “I am withdrawing my decision.”
There was a poor shoe maker and he said, “Please kindly listen to me,
Instead of covering the country, rather cover your feet with hide”
After listening to him, the King said, “Shut up you cobbler!”
The king said, “This idea was in my mind for many years.
How did this cobbler know?”
From that day on the trend of wearing shoes began.
Everyone congratulated the King for his wonderful idea
“Praise the King, Praise the Great King!”
Everyone said “Praise the King!”
And my word has ended.

Song: Ikipice kis mese (Itsy Bitsy Little Tale)
Singer: Eva Balint
Lyrics:
Egyszer volt, hol nem volt, egy icipici házikó,
Icipici házikóban, icipici ágyikó.
Ottan élt éldegélt, egy icipici lencsilány,
Icipici anyukával, túl az Óperencián.
Icipici lencsilányka, lencsibabát ringatott,
Anyuka is ezt csinálta s boldogságban éltek ott.
Amikor este lett, az icipici lányka félt,
Icipici anyukája mondott egy mesét.
Translation:
Once upon a time there was an itsy bitsy little house
In the itsy bitsy little house there was an itsy bitsy little bed
There lived an itsy bitsy tiny little girl
With her itsy bitsy mother over the hills and far away
The itsy bitsy tiny little girl was rocking an itsy bitsy tiny little dolly
And her mother did exactly the same
And they both lived in great happiness
When it turned dark the itsy bitsy little girl got scared
To stop her being scared her mother told her an itsy bitsy little tale

Chorus:
Allah huu Allah huu
Allah huu Allah huu

Translation:
All beginnings begin with your name
All the [blessings] end with your name.
Your praise is praiseworthy
Because you are the God of my Muhammad.
Chorus
The time when there was neither land nor the world
Nor moon, sun or the sky,
When truth was not known to anyone.
At that time there was nothing except you.
Chorus
When Mustafa (another name of Prophet Muhammad) ascended to heavens
When there was no veil between the master and the servant.
Then the angels said secretly to the Prophet
That of all the creations, only he was truth-like.
Chorus
There is no one like you and that is your grandeur, O! The unique one
You are the imagination and inquisitiveness, you are the wish
You are the light [and] the voice of heart
You were there, you are there and you will be there.
