SungMeaning
Rain is falling—what do we say?Es regnet — was sagen wir?
Es regnet, es regnet, on this November day!
Leaves are falling from the tree.Die Blätter fallen vom Baum.
Die Blätter, die Blätter—look, one landed by me!
Outside, the clouds are gray.Draußen ist es grau today.
Draußen ist es grau today.Outside, the clouds are gray.
Put your raincoat on, let’s go!Zieh deine Regenjacke an, los geht’s!
Die Regenjacke—ready to go!
Puddles, puddles, where can we play?Pfützen, Pfützen, wo können wir spielen?
Die Pfützen! We can splash today!
Step, splash, laugh, then turn around—Schritt, platsch, lachen, dann dreh dich um —
Little autumn treasures on the ground.Kleine Herbstschätze auf dem Boden.
Outside it’s cold and wet—Draußen ist es kalt und nass —
Draußen ist es kalt und nass!Outside it’s cold and wet!
Inside, what’s waiting for us?Und drinnen, was wartet auf uns?
Drinnen ist es kuschelig warm!Inside it’s warm and cozy!
Kuschelig warm, warm and cozy,
Draußen kalt, drinnen cozy!
Outside it’s cold and wet,Draußen ist es kalt und nass,
Inside’s the coziest place yet!Drinnen ist es am gemütlichsten!
Slippers on—what’s the word?Hausschuhe an — wie heißt das Wort?
Die Hausschuhe! Soft as a bird.
A blanket for you, a blanket for me.Eine Decke für dich, eine Decke für mich.
Die Kuscheldecke—snuggle and see!
Hot chocolate, please, in my cup.Kakao, bitte, in meine Tasse.
Der Kakao—careful, it’s warm! Sip it up.
What’s for supper? Something that’s good.Was gibt’s zum Abendessen? Etwas Gutes.
Die Suppe! Warm soup, just like it should.
A story, please, before we rest.Eine Geschichte, bitte, bevor wir uns ausruhen.
Eine Geschichte—our favorite best!
On the sofa, close together,Auf dem Sofa, ganz nah beisammen,
Rain taps softly through the weather.Der Regen klopft ganz leise.
Outside it’s cold and wet—Draußen ist es kalt und nass —
Draußen ist es kalt und nass!Outside it’s cold and wet!
Inside, what’s waiting for us?Und drinnen, was wartet auf uns?
Drinnen ist es kuschelig warm!Inside it’s warm and cozy!
Kuschelig warm, warm and cozy,
Draußen kalt, drinnen cozy!
Outside it’s cold and wet,Draußen ist es kalt und nass,
Inside’s the coziest place yet!Drinnen ist es am gemütlichsten!
What’s “outside”?
Draußen!Outside!
And “inside”?
Drinnen!Inside!
What’s “leaves”?
Die Blätter!The leaves!
And “puddles”?
Die Pfützen!The puddles!
Es regnet—rain is falling.
Die Kuscheldecke—come on, we’re calling!
Der Kakao, die Suppe, one more story,
Cozy together—rainy-day glory!Gemütlich zusammen — ein herrlicher Regentag!
Outside it’s cold and wet—Draußen ist es kalt und nass —
Draußen ist es kalt und nass!Outside it’s cold and wet!
Inside, what’s waiting for us?Und drinnen, was wartet auf uns?
Drinnen ist es kuschelig warm!Inside it’s warm and cozy!
Kuschelig warm, warm and cozy,
Draußen kalt, drinnen cozy!
Outside it’s cold and wet,Draußen ist es kalt und nass,
Inside’s the coziest place yet!Drinnen ist es am gemütlichsten!
Kuschelig warm! Kuschelig warm!Warm and cozy! Warm and cozy!
Drinnen ist es kuschelig warm!Inside it’s warm and cozy!
