Frantisek - Buty

Na hladinu rybnika sviti slunicko

a kolem stoji v hustem kruhu topoly,

ktere tam zasadil jeden hodny clovek,

jmenoval se Frantisek Dobrota.

Frantisek Dobrota, rodak z blizke vesnice,

mel hodne deti a jednu starou babicku,

ktera kdyz umirala, tak mu rekla: «Frantisku,

ted dobre poslouchej, co mas vsechno udelat:

Balabamba, balabamba,

balabamba, balabamba

a kolem rybnika na husto nasazet topoly."

Frantisek udelal vsecko, co mu rekla:

Balabamba, balabamba,

a po snidani poslal deti do skoly.

Zebrinak s naradim dotahl od chalupy k rybniku,

vykopal diry a zasadil topoly.

Od te doby vitr na hladinu nefouka,

takze je klidna jako velke zrcadlo.

Slunicko tam sviti vzdycky rado,

protoze tam vidi Frantiskovu babicku.

The sun is shining on the surface of the pond

and around stands a dense ring of poplars,

planted there by a worthy man,

his name was Frantisek Dobrota.

Frantisek Dobrota, a native of a nearby village,

he had many children and an old grandmother,

who, when she was dying, said to him: «Francis,

now listen carefully to what you have to do:

Balamamba, Balamamba,

Balambamba, Balambamba

and thickly plant poplars around the pond."

Frantisek granted everything she told him:

Balamamba, Balamamba,

and after breakfast sent the children to school.

Zebrinak dragged the tool from the cottage to the pond,

dug holes and planted poplars.

Since that time no wind blows on the surface,

so she is as calm as a big mirror.

The sun always shines happily there,

because he sees Frantisk's grandmother there.
