În pădurea cu alune
Aveau casă doi pitici.
Vine pupăza şi spune:
Vreau să stau şi eu aici!
Pu, pu, pu, pu, pu, pu,
Vreau să stau şi eu aici!
Pu, pu, pu, pu, pu, pu,
Vreau să stau şi eu aici!
Iată vine şi-o broscuţă,
Ţop, ţop, ţop, sărind mereu.
Dacă e loc în căsuţă,
Tare aş vrea să stau şi eu!
Ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop,
Tare aş vrea să stau şi eu!
Ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop, ţop,
Tare aş vrea să stau şi eu!
Şoricelul strigă-ndată
Iată şi eu am venit!
Casa voastră e curată,
Noroc, bine v-am găsit!
Chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ,
Noroc, bine v-am găsit!
Chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ, chiţ,
Noroc, bine v-am găsit!
Şi-n căsuţa cea drăguţă
Stau vreo cinci prieteni mici:
Şoricelul şi-o broscuţă
Pupăza şi doi pitici.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Stau vreo cinci prieteni mici.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Stau vreo cinci prieteni mici.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Stau vreo cinci prieteni mici.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Stau vreo cinci prieteni mici.
In the forest by the hazelnuts
Two dwarfs had a house.
The hoopoe bird comes along and says,
"I'd want to stay here!"
"Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
I'd want to stay here!
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
I'd want to stay here!"
Here comes a froggie,
Hop, hop, hop, always jumping:
"If there is room in the cottage,
I'd really like to stay too."
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
"I'd really like to stay too."
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
"I'd really like to stay too."
The mouse shouts out,
"Here I come!
Your house is clean,
Luckily, I found you!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak
Luckily, I found you!
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak,squeak
Luckily, I found you!"
And in the sweet cottage
Five small friends stay
The little mouse and a little frog,
The hoopoe bird and two dwarfs.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Five small friends stay
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Five small friends stay.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Five small friends stay.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
Five small friends stay.
Thanks!
