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."
