Esperando un regalo / Waiting for a gift
Una botella tenía una tapa,
de una forma extraña,
era marrón de fija mirada
es un corcho de los que el sabor del vino guardan.
Un día ve pasar frente a él
un animal que feo es,
se lanza de la botella con rapidez
y se va tras de él.
A veces parece un caracol,
pero no tiene caparazón,
lleva ojos y cuerpo de claro color,
y no sé para que lo busca el corcho marrón.
One bottle had a cap,
of a strange shape,
it was brown with a fixed gaze,
it is a cork that preserves the taste of wine.
One day, it sees an ugly animal pass by,
it quickly jumps out of the bottle
and goes after it
sometimes it looks like a snail,
Sometimes it looks like a snail,
but it has no shell,
it has light-colored eyes and body,
and I don't know why the brown cork is chasing it.
Lo alcanza y lo trae arrastrado,
y le dice que hay un regalo esperando,
que suba a la botella para hallarlo
y lo ayuda a trepar afanado.
El animal en la botella se acomoda
y se ubica como una tapa insólita,
su cuerpo el fondo toca
y sus ojos por fuera brotan.
Parece estar presionado
y esto al corcho no le ha importado,
se va tranquilo caminando
dice que son las vacaciones que estaba anhelando.
He catches up with it and drags it along,
telling it that there is a gift waiting,
that it should climb into the bottle to find it,
and he helps it climb eagerly.
The animal in the bottle settles in
and positions itself like an unusual lid,
its body touching the bottom
and its eyes peeking out.
It seems to be under pressure,
but the cork doesn't care,
it walks away calmly,
saying that these are the vacations it was longing for.
El animal se queda intrigado
y molesto porque nada ha encontrado,
cuando el corcho va regresando
trae una maleta y un oso pardo.
Se lo regala a aquel animal
y este baja para tomarlo con afán
atorado ya no está,
con su regalo feliz va.
Y se lo lleva contento,
ahora si recibió su premio,
el corcho regresa a su aposento
tras un tranquilo receso.
The animal is puzzled
and annoyed because it has found nothing,
when the cork returns
it brings a suitcase and a brown bear.
It gives it to the animal,
and the animal eagerly takes it down,
it is no longer stuck,
and happily goes away with its gift.
And it takes it away happily,
now that it has received its prize,
the cork returns to its room
after a quiet break.
