A Mi Manguera

To My Hose

A Mi Manguera

The end is nearEl fin se acerca ya
I'll roll it up discreetlyLa enrollaré discretamente
Do you see it? So long, yes¿La ves? Que larga, sí
I showed it to you modestlyTe la mostré modestamente
I watered wherever I wentRegué por donde fui
Without expecting anyone to see itSin esperar que alguien la viera
I wet it, shook it, my hoseMojé, la sacudí, a mi manguera

It never got stuck on meJamás se me atoró
It never stopped working for meNunca dejó de funcionarme
I watered some flowers, and some giant forestsRegué alguna flor, y alguno que otro bosque gigante
Enjoyed getting wet and soaked you more than anyoneMojando disfruté y te empapé más que a cualquiera
Today I want to thank my hoseHoy quiero agradecer a mi manguera

Maybe I dripped, or splashed, or showered you, or bathedTal vez goteé, o salpiqué, o te duché, o me bañé
Now I know I was happyAhora se bien que fui feliz
That I squeezed it and didn't clog itQue la apreté y no la atoré
I can continue, thanks to whom? To my hosePuedo seguir, ¿gracias a quién?, a mi manguera

Because you will know that I was a man, that a gardener is happyPorque sabrás que un hombre fui, que un jardinero es feliz
Now I know well that the worm, along with the compost and the rootAhora sé bien que la lombriz, junto al abono y la raíz
Can live, thanks to whom? To my hosePueden vivir, ¿gracias a quién?, a mi manguera

Maybe I dripped (it dripped on me)Tal vez goteé (se me chorreó)
Or splashed (I got wet)O salpiqué (me la mojé)
Or showered you (turn it off now)O te duché (apaga ya)
Or bathed (without splashing)O me bañé (sin salpicar)
Now I know well (you'll know)Ahora se bien (que cha’ sabrás)
That I was happy (like a worm)Que fui feliz (como lombriz)
That I squeezed it (squeeze here)Que la apreté (aprieta acá)
And didn't clog it (I got wet)Y no la atoré (ya me mojé)
I must continue (just keep going)Debo seguir (sigue nomás)
And thank my hoseY agradecer a mi manguera
