Frere Jacques

[Jeff Holdeman]

Mark,

I can add two more :

Polish
Panie Janie! Panie Janie!
Rano wstan'! Rano wstan'!
Wszystkie dz'wony bija,,
wszystkie dz'wony bija,.
Bim, bam, bum, bim, bam, bum.
(note diacritics: n'    z'    a,    )
[I tried to verify this one but couldn't; I think it's right, though.]

Czech
Bratr^e Kubo, Bratr^e Kubo,
jes^te^ spi's^, jes^te^ spi's^?
Venku slunce za'ri',
ty jsi na pols^ta'r^i.
Vsta'vej jiz^, vsta'vej jiz^.
(note diacritics: r^   s^   t^   i'   a'   z^    )
[Unfortunately, the bells have been silenced here.]
