Is this the same song? youtu.be/-iHqjDdesFk?feature=shared  It sounds like you worked out the first part.

Thank you JanetB. 



You have a good point.  



The melody is migratory. For one tune, it has multiple lyrics. I will just clarify. Originally the song was called "V tom prazskem udolicku". I am leaving this title in the book I am publishing.  11:29 youtu.be/d18BREhgxjk?feature=s...amp;t=689



Then, probably at the beginning of the last century, a second part was added to it. They wrote new words and a song called "Tocte se pardalove" was created from it. youtu.be/-4gyQhnnvUM  



This second song overshadowed the original song and so only a few musicologists know the original title. I was supposed to write both titles there, but they didn't fit in the YouTube short.
