Sobre el suelo había una hoja,
verde, larga y hermosa,
pobrecita, está sola
no había un árbol en la zona.
La levanté con delicadeza
y la lleve a mi casa que está cerca,
la puse sobre una manta pequeña
cómo si en una cama la pusiera.
There was a leaf on the ground,
green, long, and beautiful,
poor thing, all alone,
there wasn’t a single tree in the area.
I picked it up gently
and took it to my house, which is nearby,
and laid it on a small blanket
as if I were putting it in a bed.
No habia tenido una hoja en casa
y es que ella es mi invitada.
le daré sopa recién preparada,
para que bien le haga.
Luego la dejo durmiendo
y mientras sucede eso
le pongo rubor rojo intenso
y un poco de sombra color caramelo.
I didn't have any paper at home,
and she's my guest, after all,
I'll give her some freshly made soup,
so it'll do her good.
Then I'll leave her sleeping,
and while she's sleeping,
I'll apply a deep red blush
and a little caramel colored eyeshadow.
La hoja se ve hermosa
y al despertar se siente grandiosa,
ella misma se asombra,
es que quedó asombrosa.
La hoja en el pie me da un abrazo
y se marcha despacio,
la hice sentir un ser amado
y la soledad atrás a dejado.
The leaf looks beautiful,
and when it wakes up, it feels wonderful,
it’s amazed at itself,
it really turned out amazing.
The leaf at my feet gives me a hug
and slowly drifts away,
I made it feel loved,
and it has left its loneliness behind.
