A Patinha Da Vovó Lyrics Translation in English

A patinha da vovó botou um ovo

The grandma's little duck laid an egg

Bem no meio de uma moita de bambu

Right in the middle of a bamboo thicket

Todo mundo ficou muito espantado

Everyone was very amazed

Pois o ovo era grande pra chuchu

Because the egg was big as a chayote

A patinha fez uma força danada

The little duck made a tremendous effort

Se espremia toda pro ovo sair

Squeezing herself so the egg would come out

A vovó ficou até preocupada

Grandma got worried

Ovo grande desse jeito eu nunca vi

A big egg like this, I've never seen

Daquele ovo saíram quatro patinhas

From that egg came four little ducklings

Que mal nasceram foram pro rio nadar

As soon as they were born, they went to swim in the river

Todas elas eram muito bonitinhas

They were all very cute

E o nome delas eu agora vou contar

And now I'll tell you their names

Pata, peta, pita, pota pu u u xa

Pata, peta, pita, pota pu u u xa

Muito pato pra nascer de um ovo só

So many ducks born from just one egg

Pata, peta, pita, pota pu u u xa

Pata, peta, pita, pota pu u u xa

Os filhinhos da patinha da vovó

The little ducklings of grandma's duck
