Und dann kam dem Grinch 'ne ganz neue Idee:
"Ist Weihnachten doch nicht nur Essen und Schenken?
Ist Weihnachten... doch noch mehr?" musste er denken.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store
What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!
Am wahrscheinlichsten aber, glaub ich, wird sein:
Sein Herz war einfach zwei Nummern zu klein.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Welcome Christmas. Bring your cheer,
Cheer to all Whos, far and near.
Weihnachten wird immer so lange dauern, wie wir Herz an Herz und Hand in Hand stehen.
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.
Welcome, Christmas, while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand.
Nun... die Hus warn nicht böse,
Denn des Grinchs kleines Herz wuchs auf die dreifache Größe!
And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say
That the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day!
With a smile to his soul, he descended Mount Crumpet
Cheerily blowing "Who! Who!" on his trumpet.
Dann den Schornstein hinab. Der war ziemlich schmal.
Doch wenn's der Weihnachtsmann schaffte, dann der Grinch allemal.
Then he slid down the chimney, a rather tight pinch.
But if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch.
"Ich weiß genau, wie!" Der Grinch lachte im Rachen.
"Ich werde mir Sachen wie vom Weihnachtsmann machen."
Und er gickste und gackste: "Das ist gar nicht schwer!
Mit dem Rock und der Mütze seh ich fast aus wie er!"
"I know just what to do!" The Grinch laughed in his throat.
"I'll make a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat."
He brought back their snoof and their tringlers and fuzzles,
Brought back their pantookas, their dafflers and wuzzles.
Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming,
"I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming!"
Packed it up with their presents, their ribbons, their wrappings,
Their snoof and their fuzzles, their tringlers and trappings!
Ten thousand feet up, up the side of Mount Crumpet,
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!
