Habia una jabonera sobre la mesa,
azul, muy azul era
de ahí se asoma una cabeza
blanca, pequeña pero bella
y con melena.
Levanta la tapa
y sale una forma cuadrada,
es un jabón de lavanda
con una cabeza agraciada
parece una tortuga bien lograda.
There was a soap dish on the table,
blue, very blue it was
from there a head
white, small but beautiful
and with a mane.
Lift the lid
and out comes a square shape,
is a lavender soap
with a graceful head
looks like a well made turtle.
El jabón sigue su camino
va buscando algo líquido,
quiere hacer burbujas con estilo
y por ese necesita un lugar bonito
con agua saliendo de un grifo.
No encuentra esto
pero sí un café fresco,
una bebida cálida, de color negro
y el jabón se acerca sin miedo
y pide permiso para ducharse el cuerpo.
Soap goes on its way
is looking for something liquid,
wants to make bubbles in style
and for that it needs a nice place
with water coming out of a faucet.
He doesn't find this
but he does find a fresh coffee,
a warm, black drink
and the soap fearlessly approaches
and asks for permission to shower his body.
El café no dice nada,
es una bebida sin vida agitada,
mientras tanto el jabón nada,
como si fuera una tina con agua
y hasta burbujas salen de la taza.
Termina y se lanza del vaso sin delicadeza
pero, su cuerpo no es lo que era,
ya de lavanda no pareciera,
sino de carbón por su negra apariencia,
el café dejó impregnada su esencia.
The coffee says nothing,
is a shaken lifeless drink,
meanwhile the soap swims,
as if it were a bathtub with water
and even bubbles come out of the cup.
He finishes and throws himself out of the cup without delicacy
but, his body is not what it was,
and lavender does not seem,
but charcoal by its black appearance,
coffee left impregnated its essence.
Eso a al jabón no le importa,
está feliz con su coloración tenebrosa,
listo para Halloween se siente ahora
y regresa a la jabonera azulosa,
orgulloso de su apariencia misteriosa.
That doesn't matter to the soap,
is happy with its spooky coloring,
ready for Halloween now feels
and returns to the bluish soap dish,
proud of its mysterious appearance.
