Hay una casa abandonada,
donde habita una sombra negreada,
es larga, muy larga,
y cuando paso sale afanada,
yo corro asustada,
como si de un maratón se tratara.
There is an abandoned house,
where a black shadow dwells,
it is long, very long,
and when I pass it comes out in a hurry,
I run scared,
as if it were a marathon.
Un día me pongo valiente
y me cubro con un cartón fuerte,
llevó un presente
y una cuchara por si necesito protegerme,
voy a conocer la sombra residente,
de aquella casa olvidada por la gente.
One day I get brave
and I cover myself with a strong cardboard,
I took a present
and a spoon in case I need to protect myself,
I'm going to meet the resident shadow
of that house forgotten by people.
Hacia la casa camino sin afán,
la sombra se comienza a alargar,
yo continuó, miedo no quiero mostrar
ella se acerca, un abrazo me da
y yo entrego el regalo con amabilidad,
esto fue mágico, no resultó mal.
Towards the house I walk without eagerness,
the shadow begins to lengthen,
I continued, fear I don't want to show
she approaches, a hug she gives me
and I hand over the gift with kindness,
this was magic, it didn't turn out badly.
Ahora tengo un amigo nuevo,
que sonríe cuando vengo a verlo
a conversar nos ponemos,
hablamos de la vida, de los sueños,
que bien que ya no siento miedo,
de una sombra que solo buscaba afecto.
Now I have a new friend,
who smiles when I come to see him
to talk,
we talk about life, about dreams,
it's good that I no longer feel fear,
of a shadow that was only looking for affection.
