Seres que desfilan del armario / The beings parading out of the closet

Llegué cansada la casa
y me recosté en la cama,
me dormí de manera plácida,
mis ronquidos me arrullaban
y lindos sueños me acompañaban.

Mientras dormía del armario salió,
una alfombra de verde color,
sobre ella algo magno ocurrió
desfilaron seres de películas de terror
y dormida ni cuenta me di yo.

I arrived home tired
and I lay down on the bed,
I fell asleep in a placid way,
my snoring lulled me
and nice dreams accompanied me.

While I was sleeping a green carpet came out of the closet,
on it something great happened
beings from horror movies paraded
and while I was asleep I didn't even notice it.

Cuando desperté ya no era yo,
tenía la piel de verde coloración,
en un zombie me convertí hoy,
con una gran cara de horror
y me fui a desfilar sin preocupación.

Uno de los seres raros del armario,
se regresó, al parecer estaba cansado,
se colocó donde yo había reposado
y se quedó dormido afanado,
como si la vida le hubiera cansado.

When I woke up I was no longer me,
my skin was green colored,
I became a zombie today,
with a great face of horror
and I went to parade without worry.

One of the strange beings in the closet,
came back, apparently he was tired,
was placed where I had rested
and he fell asleep,
as if life had tired him.

A media noche volvimos a casa
y regresaron al armario con gracia,
me acerqué a mi cama, estaba ocupada
y no quise despertar a quien ahí estaba
y preferí dormir en una silla cercana.

Despertamos bastante cambiados
aquel ser tenía un rostro agraciado,
tenía una ala, no podía volar a ningún lado
y yo le hice una con un cojín rosado,
que de plumas estaba elaborado.

At midnight we returned home
and returned to the closet with grace,
I went to my bed, it was occupied
and I did not want to wake up who was there
and I preferred to sleep in a nearby chair.

We woke up quite changed
that being had a graceful face,
had a wing, he could not fly anywhere
and I made him one with a pink cushion,
that was made of feathers.

Así aquel ser raro del armario,
voló y se sintió afortunado,
tras estar oculto por muchos años,
consiguió el ala que le habían robado
y pudo volar y dejar el armario.

Hay seres que se guardan,
cuando alguien los daña,
pero con paciencia y calma,
puedes ayudarlos a abrir sus alas
para que vuelen sin miedo a nada.

So that rare being in the closet,
flew and felt lucky,
after being hidden for many years,
got the wing that had been stolen
and could fly and leave the closet.

There are beings that keep themselves,
when someone harms them,
but with patience and calm,
you can help them to open their wings
so they can fly without fear of anything.
