in my country we have a children's song which goes like this:

Priletela muha na zid, muha na zid, muha na zid.
Priletela muha na zid,
muha na zid.

Pralatala maha na zad, maha na zad, maha na zad.
Pralatala maha na zad,
maha na zad.

Preletele mehe ne zed, mehe ne zed, mehe ne zed.
Preletele mehe ne zed,
mehe ne zed.

Prilitili mihi ni zid, mihi ni zid, mihi ni zid.
Prilitili mihi ni zid,
mihi ni zid.

Prolotolo moho no zod, moho no zod, moho no zod.
Prolotolo moho no zod,
moho no zod.

Prulutulu muhu nu zud, muhu nu zud, muhu nu zud.
Prulutulu muhu nu zud,
muhu nu zud.

As you can see, it contains a bit of redundant information. So I was wondering if it could be compressed a bit.

This is code golf — shortest code wins.

    \$\begingroup\$ To save curious people the effort: Google Translate detects it as Croatian and says: "A fly landed on the wall, a fly on the wall, a fly on the wall." and obviously the remaining verses are nonsense. Google didn't find a dictionary containing "priletela" so I don't know for sure. Wiktionary has a similar word in Russian and Google finds it in a Slovenian song. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @user253751 the translation is correct. The first verse is understandable for anyone speaking some slavic language and is more or less valid at least in Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian and some Bulgarian dialects. Zid is masonry, but can mean wall as well. \$\endgroup\$

This approach leaves two blank lines at the end of the song. If that's not acceptable, add Vkd to the end for +3 bytes: Try it online!

Explanation

iPriletela<esc>3a muha na zid,<esc>r.

Insert Priletela; then append three copies of muha na zid, and replace the last comma with a period.

Ypo<esc>

Duplicate the line and insert a blank line below the second copy.

k7f r<cr>k4f D

Replace the seventh space on the second line with a newline. Go back up to the second line and delete from the fourth space to the end of the line. We now have the first verse of the song.

k4YGoaeiou<esc>

Go up to the first line and yank all four lines. Then insert aeiou after the last line.

:s/./&<C-r>0/g

Replace each letter of aeiou with itself followed by the yanked lyrics.

5Gqr

Go to line 5 (the start of the second verse) and begin recording into macro r.

x

Delete the first character, which is the a prepended to the verse.

:,+2s/[aeiu]/<C-r>"/g

Within this line and the next two (i.e. this verse), replace any of aeiu with the character we just deleted.

2jq

Go down two lines to the start of the next verse. Stop recording the macro.

4@r

Run the macro four more times, converting the four remaining verses.

$y
$x."],array_map(fn($e)=>preg_replace("/[$a]/",$e,$z),str_split($a))));

Try it online! Explanation:


Pm, m, m.¶Pm,¶m.¶

Insert placeholders for the first verse.

P
Priletela 
m
muha na zid

Expand the placeholders.

~(`

Compose and execute a Retina script.

K`vaeiou

Create a list of transliteration targets.

L$`.
\T`vo`$&

Expand each target into a transliteration command that transliterates vowels into the given target and outputs the verse after the transliteration. The resulting script is as follows:

\T`vo`v
\T`vo`a
\T`vo`e
\T`vo`i
\T`vo`o
\T`vo`u

Here the v represents the vowels aeiou. The o on its own usually means "insert the other set", however this has no effect on the transliteration as the vowels are already present. The exception is the T`vo`o command, where the presence of o on both sides causes it to be treated as a literal, although this does not affect the expansion either.

PHP 7.4, 164 bytes

This is the same as my solution for PHP 8 but it does not surround the value of $a (aeiou) in apostrophes or quotes and saves 2 bytes. This exploits the fact that before PHP 8, the undefined constants were reported as warning and converted to strings. This behaviour changed in PHP 8, they are now reported as errors and the code does not work any more.

$a=aeiou;$x='muha na zid';$y="Priletela $x,";echo implode("

",array_merge([$z="$y $x, $x.
$y
$x."],array_map(fn($e)=>preg_replace("/[$a]/",$e,$z),str_split($a))));

In order to hide the warnings, the option -d error_reporting=0 needs to be added to the command line (or set in php.ini).

Modified version of answer by xnor using list comprehension. It is not shorter, but it has fewer lines, so I thought I'd post it.

Explanation:

o="";                              // Define o
  for(v of ["$&",..."aeiou"])      // Repeat for each vowel + $& 
                                      being the RegExp returned value.
    for(c of`12, 2, 2.             // Numeric values will be replaced later on
    12,  
    2. 
      
    `)
      o+=                          // Add at the end of o...
        +c?                        // ...if c is numeric (NaN being falsey):
          [,"Priletela ",          // replace it by the index of the array...
          "muha na zid"][c]
            .replace(/[aeiu]/g,v)  // ...and replace every vowel by the current 
                                      vovel (or $& which doesn't affect it)
              :c;                  // otherwise, add c
                console.log(o)     // Finally, output o
