Lyrics & translation
Verse
Grandma lifts a lopsided pudding from the oven.
Vovó tira um pudim torto do forno.
Its caramel sticks like glue to the dish.
O caramelo gruda como cola na travessa.
She hides it behind the cellar trunk.
Ela o esconde atrás do baú do porão.
Then she offers everyone another slice of ham.
Depois oferece outra fatia de presunto a todos.
Chorus
The red serving dish has vanished again.
A travessa vermelha desapareceu de novo.
Grandpa searches in the umbrella cupboard.
Vovô procura no armário dos guarda-chuvas.
The dog comes back wearing someone's scarf.
O cachorro volta usando o cachecol de alguém.
Grandma says dessert is taking its time.
Vovó diz que a sobremesa está demorando.
Verse
We find two coins beneath the sofa.
Encontramos duas moedas debaixo do sofá.
My cousin brings a bowl of frozen peas.
Meu primo traz uma tigela de ervilhas congeladas.
Grandma starts a very long card game.
Vovó começa um jogo de cartas muito comprido.
By midnight we forget about the pudding.
À meia-noite esquecemos o pudim.
Chorus
The red serving dish has vanished again.
A travessa vermelha desapareceu de novo.
Grandpa searches in the umbrella cupboard.
Vovô procura no armário dos guarda-chuvas.
The dog comes back wearing someone's scarf.
O cachorro volta usando o cachecol de alguém.
Grandma says dessert is taking its time.
Vovó diz que a sobremesa está demorando.
Bridge
At Easter we look for painted wooden eggs.
Na Páscoa procuramos ovos de madeira pintados.
My cousin moves the trunk beside the stairs.
Meu primo move o baú perto da escada.
The pudding waits beneath a dusty cover.
O pudim espera debaixo de uma tampa empoeirada.
Grandma laughs and finally admits her hiding place.
Vovó ri e finalmente admite seu esconderijo.
Chorus
The red serving dish has vanished again.
A travessa vermelha desapareceu de novo.
Grandpa searches in the umbrella cupboard.
Vovô procura no armário dos guarda-chuvas.
The dog comes back wearing someone's scarf.
O cachorro volta usando o cachecol de alguém.
Grandma says dessert is taking its time.
Vovó diz que a sobremesa está demorando.
Outro
We throw it out and wash the dish.
Jogamos tudo fora e lavamos a travessa.
Next Christmas Grandma brings us bakery biscuits.
No próximo Natal vovó nos traz biscoitos da padaria.
