Una papa parda entre papas amarillas / A brown potato among yellow potatoes

in voilk •  2 months ago

    Compré una libra,
    de papas amarillas,
    de esas chiquitas,
    que fácil se cocinan.

    Las dejé en la mesa,
    y de ahí salió una sorpresa,
    una papa parda gruesa,
    grande y con mirada tierna.

    I bought a pound,
    of yellow potatoes,
    those little ones,
    that are easy to cook.

    I left them on the table,
    and out came a surprise,
    a thick brown potato,
    big and with a tender look.

    Ella no comprende lo que pasa,
    se había dormido entre las papas,
    camina hacía una cuchara solitaria
    y se sienta, a ver que pasa.

    Se acerca una abeja,
    volando con confianza extrema,
    la papa la toma sin cautela,
    se siente encantada con su belleza.

    She does not understand what is happening,
    she had fallen asleep among the potatoes,
    she walks over to a lonely spoon
    and sits down, to see what happens.

    A bee approaches,
    flying with extreme confidence,
    the potato takes it without caution,
    she is enchanted by its beauty.

    Aquella abeja en la frente la pica
    y el dolor invade a la hortaliza,
    esta quita el aguijón con prisa,
    para evitar que el veneno la deprima.

    Cuando mira a la abeja,
    la ve sin vida en la mesa,
    se asusta y regresa a su talega
    eso sí, se lleva el cuerpo de la abeja.

    That bee stings her on the forehead
    and pain invades the vegetable,
    it removes the sting in haste,
    to prevent the poison from depressing it.

    When she looks at the bee,
    sees it lifeless on the table,
    it is frightened and returns to its bag
    but takes the bee's body with her.

    Regreso para lavar las hortalizas
    y encuentro la papa distinta,
    también una abeja bonita,
    que ya no tiene vida.

    Me da pesar, nada puedo hacer,
    sobre la mesa estarán bien,
    una papa parda que se equivoco de lugar
    y una abeja que tras picar al cielo se va.

    I go back to wash the vegetables
    and I find a different potato,
    also a beautiful bee,
    that no longer has life.

    It makes me sad, nothing I can do,
    they will be fine on the table,
    a brown potato that has gone to the wrong place.
    and a bee that after stinging to the sky goes away.
