Clau [English translation]

Clau, I need to tell you that you1

Need to quit eating your mother's things

Your food's in the dining room

I know you want to tell me everything you think of me

When I arrive I can tell you've grown

More than just a little, inside of me

The size of nuvens, that in English2

Are called cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud

You say in 'woof-woofs' that you love me

You wait for me when I'm not in bed

Make sure I get sleep, wake me from bad dreams

And lay down to see, the song I wrote for you

I'd never written for you before

But when I do, I get to thinking

That you're not just a dog

What a beautiful thing to admire

As big as your mama, as big as your dinner

I don't know what else to tell you

Get out of the pool, go on, get out

Come inside, into my heart

Teach me all kinds of things, tons and tons

It's like you feel me, like you're my daughter

That was born from just one 'woof-woof'

What a beautiful thing to admire

As big as your mama, as big as your dinner

I don't know what else to tell you

Get out of the pool, go on, get out

Come inside, into my heart

Teach me all kinds of things, tons and tons

It's like you feel me, like you're my daughter

That was born from just one 'woof-woof'

Your name could have been Teresa

But I decided to call you Clau

1. Clau does not necessarily mean anything, it's just a name. I don't know if that's obvious or not so I figured I may as well put it in a footnote!2. Decided to keep 'nuvens' (which, of course, means 'clouds') untranslated in this line since Liniker translates it anyway in the following one, and that point is that 'cloud' is pronounced pretty much the same as Clau. Again, this may be obvious, but I wanted to write a little note anyway.
