mientras la chimenea me abrigada,
una mosca por aquí andaba,
caminando sin seguir nada.
I was sitting at home, while the fireplace kept me warm, a fly was wandering around, walking without following anything.
Un estruendo me desconcentra
y una rama por el techo entra,
con piñas de delgada apariencia
y con hojas de delgadez extrema.
A rumble breaks my concentration and a branch comes through the roof, with pine cones of thin appearance and leaves of extreme thinness.
Comienzo a explorar,
quiero saber porque cayó acá
y empiezo a observar
que una zarigüeya se acerca desde allá.
I begin to explore, I want to know why it fell here and I start to observe that an opossum is approaching from over there.
Este marsupial quería entrar
por eso, la rama envió hacia acá,
yo lo invité a pasar
y le dije que se sentará en mi sofá.
This marsupial wanted to enter so the branch sent it this way, I invited him in and told him to sit on my couch.
Desde aquella vez,
la zarigüeya jamás se fue,
le leo cuentos y ella se siente bien
le gusta este hogar, lleno de calidez.
Since that time, the possum has never left, I read stories to her and she feels good. she likes this home, full of warmth.
