The EuroCup 2012 Starts Today

Officially known as UEFA EURO 2012, Euro 2012 starts today! 

Poland and Ukraine host the Euro 2012 and one particular host city is my beloved Wroclaw.

The first teams to play are Poland versus Greece today at Warsaw, Poland's capital.




I told the children about this and the preschooler laughed and ran away with her dinosaur toy-I doubt she understood.  The 6 year old said she is excited and can't wait to watch the "football" game with me.

Part of her excitement stems from her love of the song "Koko Euro Spoko".





Lyrics of Koko Koko Euro Spoko:

Cieszą się Polacy, cieszy Ukraina,
Że tu dla nas wszystkich Euro się zaczyna,
Że tu dla nas wszystkich Euro się zaczyna.


(Chorus)
Hej!

Kokokoko Euro Spoko,
Piłka leci hen wysoko,
wszyscy razem zaśpiewajmy, naszym doping dajmy. /2x


Nasi dzielni chłopcy to biało-czerwoni,
Wygrać im się uda
Ucieszy się Smuda
Wygrać im się uda
Ucieszy się Smuda


(Chorus)
Hej!

Kokokoko Euro Spoko,
Piłka leci hen wysoko,
wszyscy razem zaśpiewajmy, naszym doping dajmy. /2x


Orzełki biegajcie żwawo po murawie,
Zdobywajcie gole i będzie po sprawie
Zdobywajcie gole i będzie po sprawie


(Chorus)
Kokokoko Euro Spoko,
Piłka leci hen wysoko,
wszyscy razem zaśpiewajmy, naszym doping dajmy. /2x


Nie myśl sobie bracie, że rady nie damy
Nie kłopocz się siostro
My Euro wygramy
.


A Loose Translation to English of Koko Euro Spoko:

Poles are happy, Ukrainians are happy,
that here for all of us, Euro begins. (2xs)


(Chorus)
Hey!
Cluck cluck Euro cool,
The ball flies mighty high,
All of us, let's sing together, and support our (team or boys).


Our brave boys are white and red,
They will win it,
Smuda will be happy. (2xs)


(Chorus)

Eagles, Run joyfully over the grass,
Score goals and it will be done. (2xs)


(Chorus)

Don’t think my brother, that we can’t do it,
Don’t worry my sister,
We will win Euro!
