Lyrics & translation
Verse 1
Za plotem bydlí zamračený pán.
A frowning man lives behind the fence.
Na Halloween prý neotvírá.
He never opens up on Halloween.
My máme masky z krabic od bot.
Our masks are made from shoe boxes.
A jednu dýni navíc.
And we have one extra pumpkin.
Nevyřežeme jí žádné ostré zuby.
We give it no sharp teeth.
Dostane úsměv až po uši.
It gets a grin from ear to ear.
Chorus
Dýně na schodech se směje.
The pumpkin on the steps is smiling.
Dneska se bojí jenom stín.
Tonight only the shadow is afraid.
Komu tu chybí dobrá společnost,
Whoever needs some good company,
toho si vezmeme do průvodu.
we will take along in our parade.
Verse 2
Postavíme ji před jeho dveře.
We put it outside his door.
Na cedulku napíšeme pojď taky.
On a note we write come too.
Za chvíli vrznou staré panty.
Soon the old hinges creak.
Ven vyjde pán v papírové koruně.
He comes out in a paper crown.
Pod paží nese plný košík jablek.
He carries a basket full of apples.
Prý býval strašidlem v divadle.
He used to play a theatre ghost.
Chorus
Dýně na schodech se směje.
The pumpkin on the steps is smiling.
Dneska se bojí jenom stín.
Tonight only the shadow is afraid.
Komu tu chybí dobrá společnost,
Whoever needs some good company,
toho si vezmeme do průvodu.
we will take along in our parade.
Bridge
Pán umí zahoukat jako sova.
He can hoot like an owl.
Smích probudí i sousedovic kočku.
Laughter even wakes the neighbour's cat.
Prázdný dům má otevřenou branku.
The empty house has an open gate.
A staré schody už nejsou studené.
And the old steps feel cold no longer.
Chorus
Dýně na schodech se směje.
The pumpkin on the steps is smiling.
Dneska se bojí jenom stín.
Tonight only the shadow is afraid.
Komu tu chybí dobrá společnost,
Whoever needs some good company,
toho si vezmeme do průvodu.
we will take along in our parade.
Outro
Dýni pak vrátíme k jeho oknu.
We return the pumpkin to his window.
Ráno nám zamává bez koruny.
In the morning he waves without his crown.
