Una nueva cabeza tengo hoy / I have a new head today

Llevo una cabeza morada,
suave y con láminas,
son pétalos de forma rara
y las flores no me agradan.

Intento peinarme con las manos,
pero no, no es fácil lograrlo,
me miro en el espejo un rato
y pienso como solucionarlo.

I have a purple head,
soft and flaky,
with strangely shaped petals,
and I don't like the flowers.

I try to comb my hair with my hands,
but no, it's not easy to do.
I look at myself in the mirror for a while
and think about how to fix it.

Voy por un tarro de basura
y meto la cabeza con premura
se atasca, no sale, pero no me asusta
incluso me gusta.

Tengo cabeza nueva,
no la que esperaba pero está bella,
es de un color que me alegra,
y solo debo poner mirada nueva.

I go for a trash can
and quickly stick my head in.
It gets stuck, it won't come out, but it doesn't scare me.
I even like it.

I have a new head,
not the one I expected, but it's beautiful.
It's a color that makes me happy,
and I just have to put on a new look.

Busco en un cajón,
ojos que sirvan en esta situación,
tomo uno marrón,
este año un cíclope seré yo.

Y es que si algo no me gusta,
lo cambio sin premura,
no me conformo, nada me asusta
elijo mi vida, esa es mi fortuna.

I search through a drawer,
looking for eyes that will work in this situation,
I take a brown pair,
this year I will be a cyclops.

Because if I don't like something,
I change it without hesitation,
I don't settle, nothing scares me,
I choose my life, that is my fortune.
