Lo que guardan las cajas de fósforos / What matchboxes hold

In a blue matchbox, something hateful is hiding, it is small, greenish in color, a being with one eye.

Lleva 4 patas,
con una toma un fósforo de la caja,
lo prende y se entusiasma,
hasta que se quema una pata.

It has 4 legs, with one he takes a match from the box, lights it and gets excited, until it burns a leg.

Entonces, sus pelos se despeinan,
parece que lleva una cresta,
acomoda su cabello con sus patas
y se guarda en su morada,
en la caja de fósforos azulada.

Then, his hair is tousled, he seems to be wearing a crest, he arranges his hair with his paws and keeps it in his abode which is the blue matchbox.

Y aunque el fin ha llegado,
es mejor tener cuidado,
con los fósforos que guardamos,
porque a veces hay seres extraños,
de un ojo y cabello despeinado.

And although the end has come, it is better to be careful, with the matches we keep, because sometimes there are strange beings with one eye and tousled hair.
