While driving with my daughter, pretty often she would ask me questions about other cars and traffic lights. She wanted to know why we had to stop on red light, go on a green light… This rhyme really helped her understand the rules and now she knows it by heart.

Zasady ruchu drogowego

Na skrzyżowaniach

I przejściach dla pieszych

Trzeba przystanąć

I się nie spieszyć

 

Bo z naprzeciwka

Patrzy surowo

Sygnalizator

Trójkolorowy

On tu zarządza

I rozkazuje,

Bo kierownikiem

Ruchu się czuje

Jeśli zapali się

Światło czerwone

Musisz zaczekać

Przejście wzbronione!

 

Kiedy żółte

Już się zaświeci

Jeszcze chwileczkę

Kochane dzieci

 

A gdy światło

Zielone zobaczysz,

Przez przejście dla pieszych

Wesoło skaczesz

 

At the crossroads

And crosswalks

You have to stop

And not rush

Because from the opposite site

Looking strictly

at you the traffic light

Tricolored

 

He makes the rules

And commands

because he feels like manager

of the traffic 

 

If red light

will turn on

You have to wait

Passage forbidden!

When the yellow

Light will turn on

Wait a minute

Little children

 

And when the green light

You will see

By pedestrian crossing

Jump happily

Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)
