Cuidando un cactus / Caring for a cactus
Traje una nueva planta,
llena de espinas estaba
quería que me acompañará
y en las noches abrazarla.
La acomode junto a mi cama
y le dije que bienvenida estaba,
intente con la mano acicalarla
y me lastimó con las puas que portaba.
I brought a new plant,
full of thorns, it was
I wanted it to accompany me
and at night to embrace it.
I placed it next to my bed
and told it that it was welcome,
I tried to groom it with my hand
and it hurt me with the thorns it was carrying.
La contemplo alejada,
no quiero que daño me haga,
es un cactus con espinas innatas
y no se irán, son parte de su alma.
Cuando la planta encontré
en llevarla a casa solo pensé,
la situación no analicé
y ahora no sé cómo cuidar este ser.
I contemplate it away,
I do not want it to hurt me,
is a cactus with innate thorns
and they will not go away, they are part of its soul.
When I found the plant
in taking it home I just thought,
the situation I did not analyze
and now I do not know how to take care of this being.
Voy por un empaque especial
de los que son abullonados de más,
los usan para cosas delicadas guardar
y con este me cubro con habilidad.
Ahora me acerco al cactus
y con cuidado lo abrazo,
él sonríe, se siente apreciado
y esta vez daño no me hago.
I go for a special bag
of those that are extra puffy,
they use them for delicate things to keep
and with this one I cover myself with skill.
Now I approach the cactus
and carefully hug him,
he smiles, he feels appreciated
and this time I don't hurt myself.
