Un tiburón de caja,
es una cosa rara,
no aletea, él se arrastra,
una especie evolucionada,
que bajo el agua anda.
A box-bodied shark is a rare thing, it does not fin, it crawls, it is an evolved species, which walks underwater.
Estira su boca para comer,
no la abre, como creíamos ver,
este tiburón miedo no da,
es tierno, con su mirar
y su agraciada peculiaridad.
He stretches his mouth to eat, he does not open it, as the others do, this shark is not scary, because he has a tender look and a beautiful shape.
Y si un día no quiere andar,
no te preocupes, solución hay,
es una caja de baja densidad,
que un caballito de mar podrá empujar,
sin ninguna contrariedad.
And if one day it doesn't want to walk, don't worry, there is a solution, it is a lightweight box that a seahorse will be able to push, without any inconvenience.
