My grandmother use to sing me a lullaby and all I can remember is we called it “hichi piechi”, I’m sure that’s not the way to spell it but I spelled it phonetically. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

You can find the melodies of the songs on YouTube. Just enter the name of the lullaby. If you search for “zpivanky” on YouTube you will find short lessons of various Czech songs.

Any luck with finding the tunes to these lullabies? My first child is due in Dec and I would really love to sing him Czech lullabies. I’m a third generation Czech descendent and everyone in my family who would remember the tunes has died.

What about To byla kočka, ta měla očka! I remember singing that with my mother all the time. I LOVE Varila mysicka kasicku, especially with the tickling. It is so cute. I was thinking about recording some Czech lullabies one day. Maybe I will do that in the next year or so, that would be so much fun!

[...] Keep the Czech riddles going! Some easy ones that I do over and over are: “Varila mysicka kasicku”, “Berany, berany, duc” (my daughter’s favorite), “Paci, paci, pacicky”, “Spadla lzicka do kaficka” and “Takhle Jedou Pani” [...]
