He encontrado escondida,
una nube con pintas bonitas,
no es blanca, como las conocía,
esta lleva pecas pequeñitas.
Son azules las manchas,
y en la claridad resaltan ,
intento lavarlas,
en un balde que tengo en casa.
I have found hidden,
a cloud with beautiful spots, it
is not white, as I knew them,
this one has tiny freckles.
The spots are blue,
and in the light they stand out, I
try to wash them
in a bucket I have at home.
Restriego y restriego,
con mucho esmero,
para que quede de color parejo
y parezca un nubarron nuevo.
Sin embargo, no se van,
el azul permanece en el lugar,
la nube pongo a secar
mientras la miro con pesar.
I scrub and scrub,
with great care,
so that the color is even
and it looks like a new cloud.
However, they do not go away,
the blue remains in place,
the cloud I put to dry
while I look at it with regret.
Cuando la nube está bien seca,
sola, sin ayuda se eleva,
va contenta por la limpieza
y en el cielo se asienta.
En ese momento me doy cuenta,
que no tenía manchas molestas,
son trozos de cielo que lleva,
aquella nube de gran belleza.
When the cloud is well dry,
alone, without help, it rises, it
is happy with the cleanliness
and settles in the sky.
At that moment I
realize that there were no annoying stains, they
are pieces of sky that carries,
that cloud of great beauty.
