As I remember it, it went like this:
Kocie, Kocie łapci
Pojedziem do Babci
Babcia da nam chleba
A Dziadek kiełbasy

Elzbieta,
Google Translation:
Kosi kosi kosiany, Mow mow mow,
pojedziemy do mamy, go to mom,
a od mamy do taty, and from there to my father
po kożuszek kudłaty the shaggy sheepskin

Is this close?

Thanks.
louie

Kosi kosi kosiany,

Hi Louie,

It's for small children, many versions, yours reminds me my old souvenirs.

Rymowanki - you make a rhyme, and teach to you very little child, a baby, the family: mama (mother), tata (father), babcia (grandma), dziadek (grandpa), ciocia (aunt), etc etc, as you like.

Kosi kosi kosiany,
pojedziemy do mamy,
a od mamy do taty,
po kożuszek kudłaty

==

Kosi kosi łapci,
Pojedziemy do babci,
Od babci do mamy, mama da śmietany.

Kosi kosi łapci,
Pojedziemy do babci,
Od babci do cioci, ciocia da łakoci.

Kosi kosi łapci,
Pojedziemy do babci,
Babcia da nam mleczka, dziadek cukiereczka.

My mother gave me the following phonetic (transliteration) of the Polish Version of "Pat-a- cake"
She sang it to all her children and sent it to me so I could do it to mine.

Koshe, Koshe, Kohany
Pojegime do mamy
a od mamy do payy
Koshe Koshe coshany

I know that "do" may be "to". "Kohany" could be "sweetheart" or "precious" because a neighbor would sprinkle her Polish with occasional , "Jesu Kohany".
Does anyone know the actual Polish and the translation?

Thank you,
louie
