Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ahhh. What a nice day. The sun feels so good.

Tell me about it, honey! No rain, no clouds. The weatherman was right this time!

And Max agrees!

Look, his smile is so big he looks like a happy bear.

Let’s put the blanket near that tree. We’ll get some shade there.

Blanket on the ground, food coming out.

Ooh! Cookies!

Whoa, slow down, young lady.

You know the rule. Real food first, then cookies.

Your dad is right, sweetie. Besides, I made turkey sandwiches.

But the cookies are calling my name.

Sofia.

They must wait. Even cookies need to wait.

Oh, wait, wait, wait… family photo time!

Here we go again...

Come on, say cheese.

CHEESE!

And Max, say “Woof!”

Hahaha. He said it!

Aaaand... Done! Another perfect moment for the family album.

Those are not for you, Max!

Aww, Max is hungry. Can I give him some food, please?

Sophia, remember what I told you? Our food is bad for Max.

It makes his tummy hurt.

Yeah, chocolate, grapes... all bad news for dogs.

But... bread is okay, right? It's just... bread?

Even bread isn't good, sweetie. It can make him fat. Dog food is better for him!

Okay... Sorry, Max! No sandwich for you.

But don't be sad! I'll play with you later!

We've got your favourite food right here. Here you go, pal!

Haha, good boy! Do you want to play frisbee...

WAIT! MAX, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? COME BACK!

Oh no no no...

Careful, honey! Don't trip!

Do you think daddy will catch him?

Of course he will... Maybe.

Max, come back here, you goofball!

Got him... This dog... runs like... the wind.

You found him, daddy!

Yeah... I got him... Oh my gosh... I need a minute...

How about we tie him to the tree? Just for a short time.

That's... a great idea. You really... are the... brains of this family.

There you go, Max. You can be the king of this big tree.

He doesn't even mind! He looks so proud of himself for making you run, daddy.

Ha, he should be! Now, who's ready for lunch?

I'm already hungry from all that running.

Mmm, this is the best sandwich ever.

You're the best cook, mommy.

Thank you, sweetie. I’m happy you like it.

Is the chili sauce okay? Not too hot?

No. It's perfect, mommy!

Hmm... Let's have a picnic with grandma and grandpa next time!

YES! I'm sure they would love that.

Oh no... that means I might have to chase after two dogs if Grandpa brings Buster!

Max and Buster will work together and make you run forever.

Don’t give them ideas, Sophia. My legs are already tired.

Well, running a little is good for you.

You always say you want to lose some weight.

I meant a little exercise… not a long run with two dogs.

Can I play with Max now? I promise I won't let him run away.

Sure, sweetie. Just make sure he doesn't eat any sticks or plants!

Okay, mommy. Only frisbee and hugs!

Look at them go. This is happiness.

Yep. That’s the view right there. Perfect.

Well done everyone.
