Hellikuball

Estonian Literal translation English
Hellikud, peole jalamaid!
Hellikud öise taeva all
Las helliku-täiskuu kiirgab vaid
Hellikuil algamas hellikuball

Hele kui kriit või must kui tukk,
helliku kasv ei tundu suur
Hellik on õrn kui naeratav nukk,
kui armulaul väugatab kõutsi suul

Helliku näol on leebe ilu
Hellikuil näos on hõõgvel söed
On meeldiv näidata graatsiat, võlu
ja oodata helliku-täiskuu ööd

Hellik saab aegamööda küpseks
Hellikust eal ei sirgu hiid
Hellikud kõik on pehmed üksnes
Meil kõigil on käpas gavott kui ka džiig

Kui varjus hellikukuu on veel,
on parajaim hetk, et teha tualett
Helliku seep on pehme keel
Helliku käpp on siidirätt

Hele kui kriit ja must kui tukk
Hellik võib olla nii väike kui suur
Hellik võib olla kui hüpiknukk
Helliku pilk võib peita kuud

Hele kui kriit ja must kui tukk
Hellik on nääps, sai ju öeldud, eks
Ja kui vahel on karta tormist ööd
siis võib esikus toimuda väikene keks

Päevapaiste meid kõiki loiuks teeks,
pole midagi teha meil päikse all
Sest energiat me säästame saabuvaks ööks,
kui on hellikukuu all suur hellikuball

Hellikud, peole jalamaid!
Hellikud öise taeva all
Las helliku-täiskuu kiirgab vaid
Hellikuil algamas hellikuball
Hellikud, peole jalamaid!
Hellikud öise taeva all
Las helliku-täiskuu kiirgab vaid

Hellikuil algamas hellikuball
Jellicles, to the party right now!
Jellicles under the night sky!
Let the jellicle-full moon shine yet
For the jellicles, the jellicle ball is beginning

Light as chalk or dark as firewood,
a jellicle's stature doesn't seem big
A jellicle is fragile as a smiling doll
when a love song sounds on the tomcat's mouth

On a jellicle's face is a gentle beauty
On a jellicle's face are glowing coals
It's pleasant so show grace, glamour
and wait for the night of the jellicle full moon

A jellicle matures gradually
A jellicle will never grow to be giant
Jellicles all are exclusively soft
We all have both a gavotte and a jig in our paws

When the jellicle moon is still hidden,
it's the best moment, to make our toilette
A jellicle's soap is a soft tongue
A jellicle's paw is a silk towel

Light as chalk and dark as firewood
A jellicle can be both small and big
A jellicle can be like a puppet
A jellicle's gaze can hide the moon

Light as chalk and dark as firewood
A jellicle is small, which got said, right
And if sometimes a stormy night is to be feared
then in the hallway a little dance might occur

The sunlight would make us all sluggish,
there's nothing for us to do under the sun
Because we are saving our energy for the upcoming night,
when under the jellicle moon is the grand jellicle ball!

Jellicles, to the party right now!
Jellicles under the night sky
Let the jellicle-full moon shine yet
For the jellicles, the jellicle ball is beginning
Jellicles, to the party right now!
Jellicles under the night sky
Let the jellicle-full moon shine yet

For the jellicles, the jellicle ball is beginning
Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle Cats are black and white
Jellicle Cats are rather small
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright
And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul

Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes
We like to practice our airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise

Jellicle Cats develop slowly
Jellicle Cats are not too big
Jellicle Cats are roly-poly
We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig

Until the Jellicle Moon appears
We make our toilette and take our repose
Jellicles wash behind their ears
Jellicles dry between their toes

Jellicle Cats are white and black
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes

Jellicle Cats are black and white
Jellicle Cats, as we said, are small
If it happens to be a stormy night
We will practice a caper or two in the hall

If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say we had nothing to do at all
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball!

Jellicle Cats come out tonight!
Jellicle Cats come one come all!
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright,
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all,
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
