La hoja y el sonido del mar / The leaf and the sound of the sea
Estaba una hoja descansando,
entre otras hojas de menor tamaño,
era un sustrato grato,
para dormir un buen rato.
Sin embargo, alguien roncaba
y no permitió que la hoja descansara,
se levanta mal humorada,
para buscar a quien impide su pernoctada.
There was a leaf resting
among other leaves of smaller size,
it was a pleasant substrate
to sleep for a while.
However, someone snored
and did not allow the leaf to rest,
it got up in a bad mood,
to look for the person who prevented it from sleeping.
Tras una pared de madera,
la hoja un ser dormido encuentra,
intenta despertarlo de varias maneras
y sutilmente la golpea.
También jala su cabellera,
pero esa cabeza no despierta,
sus ronquidos aumentan,
no hay quien descanse con esta estridencia.
Behind a wooden wall,
the leaf a sleeping being finds,
tries to wake him up in various ways
and subtly hits it.
It also pulls his hair,
but that head does not wake up,
his snoring increases,
there is no one to rest with this stridency.
La hoja no nació para quejarse
y busca una solución fascinante,
trae una concha de una playa grande,
de aquellas que el sonido del mar hacen.
La acomoda sobre su oreja,
para arrullarse de tierna manera,
dormida la hoja queda,
gracias a la cancha que el sonido del mar acerca.
The leaf was not born to complain
and looks for a fascinating solution, it brings a shell from a large beach,
one of those that the sound of the sea makes.
He places it over his ear,
to lull himself to sleep in a tender way,
the leaf falls asleep,
thanks to the shell that the sound of the sea brings near.
