    Macedonian Nursery Rhymes

    Do any of you know of any complete/comprehensive lists of Macedonian nursery rhymes?

    I've not been able to find anything online, perhaps there are books you know of?

      Sorry Rogi, I was going to reply to your request but figured my rhymes would be a touch too inappropriate for this forum. Unfortunately, the only rhymes I managed to learn from my old man were all the rude ones...My dad was a bit unconventional that way. And he hasn't changed one bit.

        This is the most commonly used as far as I've heard:

        "Нани ми нани детенце, надвор пее петленце
        пее кукурика, тебе ми те вика
        рачиња да измиеш, лицето да истриеш
        па да бидеш чисто како вчера исто."

        I've been singing this song to my daughter and will start singing it again in about 2 months

        Below are a few others I randomly found:
        "Фатив едно зајаче, малечко и диво
        има кусо опавче и кожувче сиво
        морковче му давам јас со мојата рака
        тоа знај не се плаши и зелка ми сака."

        "Имам маче шарено,
        шарено ем галено.
        Прва му е зима,
        а долг мустак има.
        Фаќа глувци, поганци,
        па им вели ајдуци.
        Кого в подрум фатам,
        опаш ќе му скратам."

        "Видов едни петлиња,
        петлиња со чешлиња,
        црни, бели, секакви,
        и со гаќи некакви.
        Еднаш две-три петлиња,
        гаќи што си имаа,
        на мегдан се бореа-
        гаќи им се скинаа.
        Затоа и денеска
        секој слуша често,
        и за нив да се говори:
        Петле Гаќуресто!"

        "Ајде, ајде детенце,
        летни како петленце,
        скокни како еленче,
        достасај до веленце,
        на веленце бато седи,
        играчките ти ги реди.
        Тропа, троп..
        Тропа, троп..
        До два лава,
        еден топ,
        едно коњче,
        едно слонче,
        две куклиња,
        воз и ѕвонче..
        Оп, оп..
        Уште малку, стаса
        стоп!"

        "Тркалак - долголак!
        Јас сум возот голем јас!
        Трака - трак! Трака - трак!
        Јурам смело и низ мрак!
        Трака - трек! Трака - трек!
        Не ме плашат, дожд и снег!
        Трака Трака - трук! - трук!
        Како мене, нема друг."

          Yes, I remember that one too. Best Macedonian nursery rhyme ever.

                I know. This one and the one above are the only ones I know from childhood. But tried to again, apply humor unsuccessfully lol.

                The reason this one prevailed is probably because my father is half Serbian (making me 1/4 Serb I guess).

                  Yes I know you were only being humorous, I just wrote the full lyrics for the sake of the thread since I didn't think of that one earlier.

                    Since we're also adding rhymes that include games with hands, Beware the wolf

                    Чук, чук, чук
                    Кој чука?
                    Стојанче
                    Шо бара?
                    Оганче

                      Interesting, the version I know uses Тапшини as opposed to тапшин

                      And the last line is as follows:
                      (insert baby's name here) да ги вечера

                        I'm actually really surprised and pretty disappointed that there's nothing online anywhere, and in particular no YouTube videos with Macedonian nursery rhymes or lullabies.

                        My son's kindergarten are now playing international nursery rhymes for the children based on the nationalities in the class... from English, French, Japanese and many others, all found on YouTube, yet and lo and behold, the only ones that they can't find are any Macedonian ones.

                              The only Macedonian nursery rhymes that my dad sang to me as a kid were the ones that aren’t really fit for polite society. Here’s just one classic gem from his very rich repertoire that I’ve managed to remember:
                              Kole i Kolejca ojdoa pod vodejnca - tamu najdoa tri zheni so pichki strizheni.

                              He was also particularly gifted with covering old Macedonian folk songs (but with his own personal touch). Here’s one that’s hard to forget:
                              Chudna zhena beshe Vera, koj pomina i go vtera
