Los ácaros son desagradables,
son seres horripilantes,
se comen todo con afanes
y con esa mandíbula asustan hasta el aire.
Sin embargo algo extraño me pasó
y uno de estos a mi casa llegó,
sobre la cama se paró,
quería que le ayudará con un favor.
Mites are disgusting,
they're creepy crawlies,
they eat everything with eagerness
and with that jaw they scare even the air.
However, something strange happened to me
and one of them came to my house,
it stood on the bed,
wanted me to help him with a favor.
El ácaro aquel,
quería un trozo de papel,
yo le colaboré, se lo pasé
y lejos me marché.
Desde la distancia lo observaba
y él sobre el papel se revolcaba,
de un lado a otro se contoneaba,
parecía un perro con picor en la espalda.
That mite,
wanted a piece of paper,
I helped him, handed it to him
and away I went.
From a distance I watched him
and he rolled on the paper,
from one side to the other he wiggled,
he looked like a dog with an itchy back.
Y cuando nuevamente se puso de pie,
llevaba un suéter de papel,
eso es lo que quería este ser,
un atuendo para verse bien.
El individuo se fue a pasear
y sobre un tapete lo vieron pasar,
un ácaro que lleva un vestido original
y que espero no volver a encontrar.
And when he stood up again,
he was wearing a paper sweater,
that's what this being wanted,
an outfit to look good.
The individual went for a walk
and on a mat he was seen passing by,
a mite wearing an original dress
and that I hope not to find again.
