Hi all, I'm looking for some traditional songs in Czech. Like folk songs, kid songs or any well-known and EASY ones. I just started to contact Czech language two weeks ago. If anyone can offer some information about this, that will be a big help to me. (Of course, it's better to have the lyrics or words of the songs!!) cheers
Sam, Here's a simple one I learned, when I first started studying Czech: Kdyby Byl Bavorov. The translation (for the first verse, at least) is at http://mimosa.cnice.mecd.es/~nsaenzur/Folk/Czech Folk.htm along with a link to a realaudio file of the song. An added bonus on this second site is the Czech national anthem with translation and a midi sound file.
Hi Sova, Thanks sooooo much! I think this helps a lot. The song is easy and short, and the words are beautiful. I am excited and trying to find anything about Czech, like exploring a new continent! My Czech girl is leaving in four weeks, I got to try hard to collect as much information as possible when she is still here. Thanks again for your kind help. It means a lot to me.....Shei Shei(Thank you in Chinese)!! :wink:
Hi Sova, I just burned the song in a CD-Rom last night and practice it all the time now. It's fun! I can image her face when she hears me singing this song...ha! I also found some good Czech music websites in this message board. However, they were all in Czech ~ of course, so I didn't have any clue to find what I needed. I tried to click some buttons yet got nothing ~ it was like seeking a needle in the vast ocean.... May I have your help with this? It's so nice of you that posted the website page address directly here and I found the song with no difficulty. Or, could you show me some keywords like "download," "music samples" in Czech? Or any instruction to get into a music download area of Czech websites. Now what exactly I feel like to do is, find some Czech songs and burn them into a CD. Then, at her farewell party in Taiwan, it will be another surprise for her. I hope this won't bother you too much. If it does, never mind, just forget it. Also, any help or suggestion from everyone here about this will be very appreciated. I really enjoy myself in this board. I can say I've never seen and joined such a nice internet community before. Cheers for all, Sam
