A coisa principal temos que dizer.
The most important thing, that we've ever learned,
A coisa principal que diz respeito a todo aprendiz é nunca, nunca permitir só ver televisão.
The most important thing we've learned as far as children are concerned
Evite mesmo instalar a idiotice no seu lar.
In never, never let them near, a television set, or better still just don't install the idiotic thing at all.
Nunca, nunca deixe. Nunca, nunca deixe. Nunca, nunca deixe. Nunca, nunca deixe.
(Never, never let them... never, never let them)

A mente faz apodrecer e as idéias perecer.
It rots the senses in the head, it kills imagination dead.
E ela vai te transformar num paspalhão bobão demais. Bobão demais! Bobão demais!
It clogs and clutters up the mind. It makes a child so dull and blind. (So dull and blind... so dull and blind...)
Se não consegue entender e as fábulas compreender. As fábulas! As fábulas!
He can no longer understand a fairytale, in fairyland (A fairyland... a fairyland)
E a memória supor e ser,
His brain becomes as soft as cheese, his thinking powers rust and freeze.
travada, enferrujada até, não quer pensar,somente ver!
He cannot think, he only SEES (He only sees... he only sees)
E quanto ao Mikezinho Teavee, nós lamentamos lhes dizer, que lástima!
Regarding little Mike Teavee, we very much regret that we (Regret that we)
Só vamos nos sentar e ver.
Shall simply have to wait and see... we very much regret that we
Nós lamentamos lhes dizer, só vamos esperar e ver se ao seu tamanho vai voltar, mas se não der...
Shall simply have to wait and see if we can get him back to size,
BEM-FEITO está!
But if we can't... it server him right!
