El cabello del extraterrestre / The hair of the extraterrestrial

Los extraterrestres no tienen cabello,
son calvos y de colores bellos,
pero les hace falta pelo,
que los proteja del frío del universo.

Uno de ellos llega en su nave espacial,
a una ducha de la ciudad,
busca el champú de amarilla tonalidad
y lo tumba para poderlo usar.

Aliens don't have hair,
they are bald and beautifully colored,
but they need hair,
to protect them from the cold of the universe.

One of them arrives in his spaceship,
to a city shower,
he looks for the shampoo of yellow tonality
and knocks it down so that he can use it.

Se lo pone en su cabeza calva
y hace un masaje como si pelo llevara,
sale mucha espuma blanca,
parece un helado con crema avainillada.

Deja el champú en su cabeza,
como si un tratamiento hidratante fuera,
cuenta los minutos con proesa,
seguro espera una limpieza extrema.

He puts it on his bald head
and massages it as if he were wearing hair,
a lot of white foam comes out,
it looks like an ice cream with vanilla cream.

He leaves the shampoo on his head,
as if it were a moisturizing treatment,
counts the minutes with proesa,
he's sure to expect an extreme cleansing.

Y cuando la espuma al suelo cae,
se ve un pelo de tonalidad agradable,
es naranja como el sol radiante,
una cabellera impresionante.

Tras lavarse su cabeza calva,
creció una cabellera naranja,
el ser del espacio luego se marcha
en su nave a otra galaxia.

And when the foam falls to the ground,
you see a hair of pleasant hue,
it's orange like the radiant sun,
an impressive head of hair.

After washing his bald head,
an orange hair grew,
the space being then departs
in his ship to the galaxy.
