La vida de un plátano maduro / The life of a ripe banana

The life of ripe banana people is not easy, at 8 o'clock in the morning they have to get up,they sleep in a fresh bed,of well-cut lettuce.

Los maduros no se bañan,
ellos dicen que se daña su cáscara,
se frotan un poco de mostaza,
que les da buen olor y los hidrata.

The ripe banana do not bathe, they say it damages their skin, they rub a little mustard on them, which gives them a good smell and moisturizes them.

Tienen una vida no muy larga,
pero la disfrutan sin miedo a nada,
a veces trepan la pared clara
y se lanzan, aplastando su forma abultada.

Ripe bananas have a not very long life, but they enjoy it without fear of anything, sometimes they climb the light wall and they launch themselves, crushing their lumpy shape.

Así es la vida de un plátano maduro,
la vive como ninguno,
a las 8 de la noche busca lechuga fresca,
la corta y se duerme hasta que el mañana vuelva.

Such is the life of a ripe banana,
he lives it like no other,
at 8 o'clock at night he looks for fresh lettuce,
cuts it and goes to sleep until tomorrow returns.
