Children's Song
(Catalan)
(English)
Sóc un cuiner
que remena les cassoles.
Faig bon menjar
i tothom se'n llepa els dits.
Les cassoles en el foc,
van bullint a poc a poc,
i fregeixo les verdures,
les patates i els cigrons.
I'm a cook
Who stirs the pots
I make good food
And it's finger-licking good*.
The pot's on the fire
Boiling slowly
And I fry the vegetables,
The potatoes and chickpeas.
Notes
*Alicia originally translated this as, "And everyone found it delicious." She wrote, "My translation isn't literal because I don't know the equivalent to the expression 'chuparse los dedos'. Maybe it's something like the expression 'finger-licking good'." Monique translated the line literally as, "And everyone licks their fingers."
Many thanks to Alicia Calvo for contributing this song, translating it into English and Spanish and for singing it for us.
