Una Alpaca Acicalada /A well-groomed alpaca
Va Serafín contento caminado
y entra a un matorral cercano,
cuando regresa, tras un rato,
consigo trae algo.
Es una alpaca colorida
y la lleva obligada a la amiga,
pasan por tierras baldías,
y el animal no deja ver ni una sonrisa.
Serafin walks along happily
and enters a nearby thicket
when he returns a little while later,
he brings something with him.
It’s a colorful alpaca,
and he’s leading it to his friend,
they pass through wasteland,
and the animal doesn’t even crack a smile.
Llegan a casa
y Serafín la deja sola en la sala,
el animal no le gusta lo que pasa
y se queda sentada sin entender nada.
Explora con paciencia el lugar
y ve que un florero hay,
se acerca y toma una hoja con afán
y el florero cae del lugar que está.
They arrive home,
and Serafín leaves her alone in the living room,
the animal doesn't like what's happening
and sits there, completely confused.
She patiently explores the room
and notices a vase,
she approaches it and eagerly grabs a leaf,
and the vase falls from where it stands.
Cuando regresa Serafín a la sala
la alpaca se asusta con su llegada,
pero él nunca se enfada
y trae un cepillo para acicalarla.
Serafín comienza a cepillar el animal
y a esta le agrada la actividad,
sonríe con este ritual
y comprende que aquí siempre la cuidarán.
When Serafín returns to the room,
the alpaca is startled by his arrival,
but he never gets angry
and brings a brush to groom her.
Serafín begins to brush the animal,
and she enjoys the activity,
she smiles at this ritual
and realizes that she will always be cared for here.
