The Little Mermaid / Malá Morská Víla

When it grew dark, a number of colored lamps were lighted

Kdyz se setmělo, rozsv tilo se mnozstv barevn ch lamp

the sailors and royal family danced merrily on the deck

n mořn ci a kr lovsk rodina vesele tančili na palubě

The little mermaid could not help thinking of her birthday

Mal mořsk v la se nemohla ubr nit myslence na sv narozeniny

the day that she rose out of the sea for the first time

den, kdy poprv vystoupila z moře

similar joyful festivities were celebrated on that day

v ten den se slavily podobn radostn slavnosti

she thought about the wonder and hope she felt that day

přem slela o z zraku a naději, kterou ten den c tila

with those pleasant memories, she too joined in the dance

s těmi př jemn mi vzpom nkami se do tance zapojila i ona

on her paining feet, she poised herself in the air

na sv ch bolav ch nohou se postavila ve vzduchu

the way a swallow poises itself when in pursued of prey

způsob, jak m se vlastovka stav , kdyz pron sleduje kořist

the sailors and the servants cheered her wonderingly

n mořn ci a sluzebnictvo ji udiveně povzbuzovali

She had never danced so gracefully before

Jestě nikdy netančila tak elegantně

Her tender feet felt as if cut with sharp knives

Jej nězn chodidla měla pocit, jako by ji řezali ostr mi nozi
