Can Someone Help with a Children’s Song (that’s possibly Czech)?

Hello!

I came across your website and it’s fantastic! There is a kid’s song that I’m dying to find out if 1) it’s Czech and 2) if you’ve heard it and know what it actually means.

It would be amazing if you could help me with this one.

Here is the phonetic version, please don’t be offended:

pompovali dvapa nazi
polo mali
poom poom
ponzterosta coka zokna
sprafte meeteh
poom poom

Thats all I have. If you know ANYTHING I’d be super happy.

Thanks!

If anyone can help out Dave, please comment below. We’d also love to have the correct spelling of this song.

Thanks!

Yes, i think that it is Czech.

Pumpovaly dva panáčci (dvě panenky)
pumpovali pumpu.
Pan starosta kouká z okna
Spravte mi tu pumpu.

Thanks Hana! That’s very helpful.

If anyone could provide an English translation, that would be great!

It’s a finger play.

Pumpovaly dvě panenky – Two maids had pumped (water)
Polámaly pumpu – (and then) They broke the pump
Pan starosta kouká z okna – The reeve (mayor) is looking out of the
window
Spravte mi tu pumpu! – Repair the pump for me!
