El hombre del cepillo / The man with the brush

Él cuida su cepillo,
lo mantiene siempre limpio,
es su hogar, quiere tenerlo lindo
para invitar a sus amigos.

A man with no hair,
lives in an old brush,
he walks through it all the time,
looking for black hair.

He takes care of his brush,
keeps it always clean,
it's his home, he wants to keep it nice
to invite his friends.

A mí me agrada este ser sin pelo
por eso un largo cabello le dejo,
enredado entre el cepillo viejo,
para que él lo tomé y lo lleve lejos.

Él se alegra con este trabajo,
se siente útil, está laborando,
se lleva el cabello para otro lado
y yo me quedo por ahí merodeando.

I like this hairless being
that's why I leave him a long hair
tangled in the old brush,
for him to take it and carry it away.

He is happy with this work,
he feels useful, he's working,
he takes the hair somewhere else
and I'm just hanging around.

Regresa con algo en sus manos,
es el largo cabello hecho pedazos,
con este una peluca ha elaborado
y me la trae como regalo.

Me queda perfecta,
y va bien con mi mirada negra,
me voy con mi regalo,
quiero que el mundo vea lo bello que he quedado.

He returns with something in his hands,
it's long hair in pieces,
with this she has made a wig
and brings it to me as a gift.

It fits me perfectly,
and it goes well with my black look,
I'm leaving with my present,
I want the world to see how beautiful I've become.
