Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hello.

I said hello.

What is your name?

Maybe you cannot talk yet.

Huh? Huh?

Don't you know anything?

Long-necks don't talk to, uh,

whatever you are.

Me? I'm a long-neck too. See?

And I have a long tail like you.

<i>All right...</i>

I'm not a long-neck.

I'm a bigmouth,

but I am all alone.

I am.

I lost my family in the big earthshake.

<i>Um...</i>

you want to go with me?

Yeah! Oh.

Oh, yes, yes, yes!

I do, I do!

All right.

Come on...

but you have to keep up.

I will keep up. I will.

[Hums]

Where are we going?

To the great valley.

I won't stop until I find my grandparents.

Do you think...

my family went to the great valley too?

Maybe. My mother said...

it's where all the herds were going.

Oh, I hope. I hope.

My name's Littlefoot.

Mine is Ducky.

Yep, that is what it is.

# Hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm #

# Dee, Dee Dee-doo-doo #

# Doo-doo da-da-da-doo #

# Da, Dee, Dee doo-doo #

# Da-da, Dee, Dee doo-doo #

# Dee, Dee Dee-da-da, Dee #

# Dee-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-da ##

Don't step on a crack,

or you'll fall and break your back.
