The Mario Drawing Song

The Mario Drawing Song (Japanese マリオ絵描き歌, Mario Ekaki Uta) is a composition made using Flipnote Studio. It was created and released by Nintendo to promote a Mario-themed competition on the application. Part of it was arranged as the map theme of Special 8 in Super Mario 3D Land. The song also appeared at the end of The Cat Mario Show. The player can also listen to the original version of the song by pressing and holding while the digital clock is active in Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

The song is available in seven languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. Nintendo of Europe produced six of these based on the original Japanese version. Nintendo of America adopted the English, French and Spanish versions without alterations.

Lyrics

English

grab a paper and a pencil,
Draw a big mushroom
Add an egg then two more
Draw a cloud under here,
Now we'll add some coins
One, two, three
One, two, three
Draw a hill at the back
With a rising sun
Add a little bird and then
It's me, Mario!

French lyrics	Translation
Sur une feuille de papier, trace un gros champi. Et des œufs, trois en tout ! Trace ensuite un nuage, et ajoute des pièces. Trois ici, et trois là. Par-dessus dessine une colline et la lune. Pour finir, fais un petit oiseau. It's me, Mario !	On a piece of paper, draw a big 'shroom. And eggs, three in all! Then trace a cloud, and add coins. Three over here, and three over there. There above draw a hill and the moon. To finish, make a little bird. It's me, Mario!

Vamos a dibujar Un gran champiñón, Un huevo aquí, y dos ahí Una nube Y monedas en cantidad: Clin, clin, clin Clin, clin, clin Ahora va la colina, El sol que ya salió Y ese pájaro que se va It's me, Mario!	We're going to draw One huge mushroom, One egg here and two over there, One cloud, And plentiful coins: Clink, clink, clink Clink, clink, clink Now he's going to the hill, The sun rise that appeared And that bird is flying away It's me, Mario!

Italian lyrics	Translation
Con un fungo comincia, Poi metterai Un uovo qua, due là Una soffice nube, Monete a volontà Un due tre Un due tre Dietro il monte al mattino Fa capolino il sol E un gabbiano che vola via. It's me, Mario!	Begin with a mushroom, Then you'll place An egg here, two there A fluffy cloud, Coins galore One two three One two three From behind the mountain at morning The sun peeks out And a seagull that flies away. It's me, Mario!

German

German lyrics	Translation
Mal 'nen Pilz auf das Blatt, das du vor dir hast. Dann ein Ei - dann noch zwei. Jetzt erscheint eine Wolke und Münzen drauf. Eins, zwei, drei! Eins, zwei, drei! Da erhebt sich ein Berg und die Sonne geht auf. Mal 'nen Vogel davor und dann: It's me, Mario!	Paint a mushroom on the leaf that you have in front of you. Then an egg - then two more. Now a cloud appears and coins on it. One, two, three! One, two, three! There rises a mountain and the sun comes up. Paint a bird in front of it and then: It's me, Mario!

Dutch

Dutch lyrics	Translation
Neem papier en een pen, schets een paddenstoel En een ei, twee opzij Teken heir nog een wolk en wat muntjes daar Een, twee, drie Een, twee, drie Maak een omgevallen maan met een zon ertegenaan En een vogeltje. Wie is daar? It's me, Mario!	Take paper and a pen, sketch a mushroom And an egg, two to the side Draw another cloud here and some coins there One, two, three One, two, three Create a fallen moon with a sun against it And a bird. Who is there? It's me, Mario!
