Lyrics - Croatian
(Croatian folk song)
Mi smo djeca vesela,
rado bi se igrala,
al’ ne znamo što.
Kaži nam ti Ančice
što će tvoje ručice
Kaži nam ti Ančice
što će tvoje ručice.
(Call)
“Svi činite kao ja
to me jako zabavlja.”
(Response)
“Svi činimo kao ti,
to nas jako veseli.”
English Translation - We are happy children
We are happy children,
would be happy to play,
but we do not know what.
Tell us about Ančice (insert child’s name)
what will your arms do
Tell us about Ančice (insert child’s name)
what will your arms do
(Call)
“You all do it like me
it really amuses me,”
(Response)
“We all do as you do,
we are very happy about this.”
