Café para la hormiga marrón / Coffee for the brown ant

Hay una hormiga,
que vive en la cocina,
no sabe preparar comida rica,
solo recoge migajas que por ahí habitan.

Sin embargo
es un ser bien raro,
cuando ve café recién preparado,
se va a nadar en él vaso.

There is an ant,
who lives in the kitchen,
it doesn't know how to prepare tasty food,
only picks up crumbs that are lying around.

However, it is a very
it is a very strange creature,
when he sees freshly brewed coffee,
he goes for a swim in the cup.

En un inicio con la cuchara la sacaba,
pensando que su vida salvaba,
pero, descubrí que ella se baña
en café todas las mañanas.

Es que piensa que así,
conservara su pelo con buen matiz
y de la cuchara sin pudor,
se lanza en clavado al café sin temor.

At first, he used the spoon to scoop it out,
thinking I was saving her life,
but, I discovered that she bathes
in coffee every morning.

She thinks that this way,
she will keep her hair with a good shade
and of the spoon without modesty,
she dives into the coffee without fear.

Un día pongo leche por error,
en donde nada la hormiga marrón
y de la taza sale de forma veloz
llena de nata de buen espesor.

Se va molesta la hormiga,
el baño en café con leche no la anima,
tendrá que buscar una toalla fina,
para retirar la nata que lleva adherida.

One day I put milk by mistake,
where the brown ant swims
and out of the cup comes out in a hurry
full of thick cream.

The ant gets annoyed,
the bath in coffee with milk does not cheer it up,
it will have to look for a fine towel
to remove the cream that sticks to it.
