“Czarna Krowa” by Natalia Usenko Posted by on Aug 29, 2016 in Uncategorized

I have so many books with Polish poems for my kids! Every day we try to read a new poem…and try to memorize it:) Although it may be a little tricky sometimes…One of my favorite poems is “Czarna krowa” by Natalia Usenko. Today I decided to share it with you!

Czarna Krowa 

Czarna krowa w kropki bordo wędrowała drogą.
Z przodu miała wielką głowę, z tyłu miała ogon!
Przystanęła nad kałużą, pochyliła głowę –
Jedno oko miała żółte, drugie fioletowe!
Rozpostarła wielkie skrzydła (miała je na grzbiecie),
Pofrunęła między chmury, wrzeszcząc “ECIE PECIE!!!”
Z najwyższego czubka drzewa skakała na głowę,
Zlizywała prosto z nieba chmury waniliowe…
Tylko niech mi nikt nie mówi, że krowa nie lata,
Bo się wszystko może zdarzyć w samym końcu lata!

The Black Cow

The black cow with claret dots was wandering on the trail.
In front she had a big head, at the back she had a tail!
She stopped at the puddle and bent her head – 
One of her eyes was yellow, the other purple!
She outstretched huge wings (they were on her back settled),
She flew towards the clouds, crying ‘TITTLE-TATTLE!!!’
From the top of the highest tree she was diving,
And straight from the sky vanilla clouds biting…
Just don’t tell me that a cow cannot fly,
Because everything can happen at the end of the summer!

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them!
