Léo pousse sur ses genouxLeo pushes up on his kneesLe tapis est un cheminThe rug is a roadLe vieux chien attend au boutThe old dog is waiting at the endEt il bat la queue sans finAnd wagging his tail without stoppingVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe tapis n'est pas si longThe rug is not that longVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe chien connaît ton prénomThe dog knows your nameUn genou et puis une mainOne knee and then one handUn centimètre et encoreOne centimetre and one moreLe chien avance à son tourThe dog comes forward in his turnEt vous voilà nez à nezAnd there you are nose to noseVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe tapis n'est pas si longThe rug is not that longVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe chien connaît ton prénomThe dog knows your nameQuand tu seras arrivéWhen you finally get thereIl te lèchera l'oreilleHe will lick your earLéo tu vas éclaterLeo you are going to burstDe rire jusqu'au sommeilOut laughing until you sleepVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe tapis n'est pas si longThe rug is not that longVa Léo va LéoGo Leo go LeoLe chien connaît ton prénomThe dog knows your name

Where the name comes from

Leo comes straight from the Latin word for 'lion' - one of the more literal name origins, used across many European languages with barely any change.

Why this moment matters

Learning to crawl toward a patient old dog is a small, quiet kind of trust exercise that happens without anyone planning it.

The story behind this song

He crawls determinedly across the floor toward the old dog, who waits patiently, as if he's done this a hundred times before.
