Un regalo para mi abuela / A gift for my grandmother
Un día mi abuela estaba sentada
en una banca frente a la casa,
todo muy calmado estaba,
hasta que cayó una presencia rara.
Era el sol, que del cielo se precipitó
e inconsciente el pobre quedó,
mi abuela con esfuerzo lo levantó
y arrastrado a casa lo llevó.
One day my grandmother was sitting
on a bench in front of the house,
everything was very quiet,
until a strange presence fell from the sky.
It was the sun, which had plummeted from the sky
and the poor thing was unconscious,
my grandmother struggled to lift it up
and carried it home.
Lo acostó en el sofá de la casa
y fue por unas medicinas guardadas,
trajo unas pastillas verde esperanza
y se la dió mientras el astro ni cuenta se daba.
Un rato esperó
hasta que el efecto llegó,
el sol feliz despertó
y del lugar con amabilidad salió.
She laid him down on the sofa at home
and went to get some medicine she had stashed away,
brought back some hope-green pills
and gave them to him while he was completely unaware.
She waited a while
until the medicine took effect,
the happy sun woke up
and left the place with a smile.
Se fue hasta donde había caído
y se despidió, estaba agradecido,
mi abuela le dió un abrazo bonito
y el astro regresó a su sitio.
Mi abuelita volvió a casa
y vio que sobre el sofá algo brillaba,
era una rayo dorado que alumbra la sala,
un regalo del sol para quien lo ayudo sin esperar nada.
He went to where he had fallen
and said goodbye, he was grateful,
my grandmother gave him a warm hug,
and the star returned to its place.
My grandmother went back home
and saw something shining on the sofa,
it was a golden ray of light illuminating the living room,
a gift from the sun for the one who helped it without expecting anything in return.
