Lyrics and translation Johnnie Ray feat. Ray Conniff and His Orchestra - Plant a Little Seed

Plant a Little Seed

Take my little hoe, dig a hole in the ground
Take my little seed and I plant it down;
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
We′ll all dance around and see my little seed grow.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let's all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The rain it come and it washed my ground
I thought my little seed was going to drown
I waded and I splashed and I carried my seed
I planted it again on some higher ground.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let′s all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The sun got hot and my ground got dry.
I thought my little seed would burn and die.
I carried some water from a watering mill,
I said, "Little, you can drink your fill."
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let's all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The snow it blowed and the wind it blew;
My little seed grew and it grew and it grew.
It grew up a cradle all soft inside;
And a baby was sleeping there covered over with vines.

Посади Маленькое Зернышко

Возьму свою маленькую мотыжку, выкопаю ямку в земле,
Возьму свое маленькое зернышко и посажу его туда;
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Мы все будем танцевать вокруг и смотреть, как растет мое маленькое зернышко.
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Давай потанцуем вокруг и посмотрим, как растет мое маленькое зернышко.
Пошел дождь и размыл мою землю,
Я думал, мое маленькое зернышко утонет.
Я брел, я плескался и нес свое зернышко,
Я посадил его снова на возвышенности.
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Давай потанцуем вокруг и посмотрим, как растет мое маленькое зернышко.
Солнце стало жарким, и моя земля высохла.
Я думал, мое маленькое зернышко сгорит и умрет.
Я принес воды из мельницы,
Я сказал: "Малыш, пей сколько хочешь".
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Туки, туки, туки, туки, тидало,
Давай потанцуем вокруг и посмотрим, как растет мое маленькое зернышко.
Шел снег, дул ветер;
Мое маленькое зернышко росло и росло, и росло.
Выросла колыбель, мягкая внутри;
И там спал малыш, укрытый лозой.
