Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor
Zil raz jeden chudobn krajč r
this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin
tento chudobn krajč r mal syna Aladina
Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing
Aladdin bol neopatrn , nečinn chlapec, ktor nič nerobil
although, he did like to play ball all day long
aj keď r d hral cel dni s loptou
this he did in the streets with other little idle boys
toto robil na uliciach s in mi mal mi nečinn mi chlapcami
This so grieved the father that he died
To otca tak zarm tilo, ze zomrel
his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped
jeho matka plakala a modlila sa, ale nič nepom halo
despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways
napriek jej prosb m sa Aladdin nenaprav
