I recently discovered this great website called “Cesta Slunce” (created by parents of physically or mentally impaired children) where you can actually listen to the Czech children songs and riddles! I found there some of my all-time favorites such as “Bezi liska k Taboru” ( “A fox is running toward Tabor”), “Holka modrooka” (“Blue-eyed girl”) or “Sly panenky silnici” (Girls were walking along the road” – I know, the translation sounds kind of weird..). I also found my new favorite song – “Bublanina“! I hope my daughter likes it as much as me… Check them out right here (Click here)!
CZ: Ahoj, konecne jsem nasla webovky, kde si clovek muze poslechnout ceske pisnicky pro deti! Stranky se jmenuji “Cesta Slunce” a jsou urcene pro mentalne nebo fyzicky postizene deti zijici v Cechach. Na tomto “zazracnem” listu si muzete poslechnout klasiky jako je “Bezi liska k Taboru”, “Holka modrooka” nebo “Sly panenky silnici”. Nasla jsem si svou novou oblibenou pisen zvanou “Bublanina”, tak doufam, ze se take bude libit Hanicce 🙂 Muzete si je vsechny poslechnout zde (kliknete zde).

Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. 🙂 Cheers! Sandra. R.
I just found a song I thought I’d never hear again. My mother, deceased now 21 years used to sing to me, my brother and my niece and nephew. It made me cry with wonderful memories.
Thank you for these. I’m going to download them all.
Hi Tami, I am so glad I could help! And which song was that?
It was Sla Nanynka do Zeli. I was born in Nebraska and my mom’s mother sang it to her and then mom to me. I emailed it to my brother and now he has his grandchildren listening. It’s priceless to me. Thanks again so much.
A-ha! That is a good one. Was there another song that your mom was singing to you?
My Mother, Aunts and Grandmother, all Czech, did a cute gesture to babies ot went something like this.
With the child sitting on your lap facing you. Gently move your head from side to side while moving head closer to child saying ” Bedonik Bedonik Dutes” and gently touching your forehead to childs when saying dutes.
Can anyone tell me what the translation is?
