Tucket fu gettato in un angolo in giardino
Tucket was thrown in a corner in the garden
Fu lasciato fuori alla pioggia e il sole e cominciò ad arrugginire
It was left out in the rain and the sun and began to rust
Fu lasciato fuori
He was left out
A volte rivecette perfino dei calci
Sometimes he even got kicked around

Tucket non voleva essere buttato via
Tucket didnt want to be thrown away
si senti molto triste
He felt very sad
sebbene i suoi amici del giardino
although his garden friends
cercassero di rincuorlo
tried to cheer him up
per rallegrare
to cheer up
gli scoiattoli lo risollevavano
The squirrels lifted him up
quando è stato ribaltato da un calcio
when he was overturned by a kick
e gli uccelli svolazzavano intorno allegramente
and the birds fluttered merrily around him
e gli uccelli svolazzavano
and the birds fluttered
non preoccuparti Tucket
Dont worry Tucket

they chirped softly

and stopped in front of Tucket
