Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Zil jednou jeden chudý krej?í

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

tento chudý krej?í m?l syna jménem Aladdin

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladdin byl nedbalý, ne?inný chlapec, který nic ned?lal

although, he did like to play ball all day long

i kdyz celý den rád hrál s mí?em

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

to d?lal v ulicích s jinými malými ne?innými chlapci

This so grieved the father that he died

To otce tak zarmoutilo, ze zem?el

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

jeho matka plakala a modlila se, ale nic nepomáhalo

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

p?es její prosbu Aladdin své zp?soby nenapravil
