Takhle jedou páni
This is How the Noblemen Ride
Lap Rhyme
Lap Rhyme
(Czech)
(English)
Takhle jedou páni,
takhle zase dámy,
a tak zase kmáni,
takhle jezdí vojáci
a takhle zas sedláci.
This is how the noblemen ride,
This is how the noble ladies ride,
This is how the soldiers ride,
This is how the farmers/peasants ride
This is how the poor man rides.
