Las Suculentas
Para conocerlas hay que recorrerlas
es indispesable no sentir temor
es recomendable no guardar rencor
Para enamorarlas, nada de halagarlas
sólo es necesario deshumedecer
y otros compromisos desobedecer
para someterlas, solo acariciarlas
tocas sus espinas
si las imaginas es mucho mejor
Todos los que amamos a las suculentas
nos acaloramos y ellas tan contentas
no nos necesitan ni pa' los mandados
no prueban bocado
lo soportan todo con resignación
La Doctora Bravo sabe ser amiga
de los candelabros y de los teteches
organos gigantes, reinas de la noche
nopal de lenguita, pitayo de mayo
¡que flor tan bonita creo que me desmayo!
Descubri la "chende" que lleva su nombre
planta arborescente de rama abundante
tronco definido, leñoso y grisaceo
siete ocho costillas de arista ondulante
espinas tortuosas, areolas distantes
son flores son duirnas y son perfumadas
en el perinato son oblanceoladas
su fruto globoso, semilla encorbada
con sus puntuaciones y reticulada
La doctora bravo, Helia Bravoa Chende
todas las cactáceas y las suculentas
gozan de su amor
Larrea tridentada o gobernadora
que de los peyotes es la protectora
la rotundifollia y la mammylaris, pseudocoriphantas los echinocactus y las jacamatracas
La Doctora Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo!!!
Supo conocerlas, supo alimentarlas
y las suculentas como recompensa
le dieron el jugo que guarda el secreto de la juventud
The Succulents
To know them you have to visit them
It is essential not to feel afraid
It is advisable not to hold a grudge
To make them fall in love, nothing to flatter them
it is only necessary to dehumidify
and other commitments disobey
to subdue them, just caress them
you touch their thorns
If you imagine them it is much better
All of us who love succulents
We get hot and they are so happy
They don't even need us to run errands
they don't eat a bite
They endure everything with resignation
Doctor Bravo knows how to be a friend
of the candelabra and the teteches
giant organs, queens of the night
nopal de lenguita, pitayo de mayo
What a pretty flower, I think I'm fainting!
Discovered the "chende" that bears his name
tree plant with abundant branch
defined, woody and grayish trunk
seven eight ribs with undulating edges
tortuous spines, distant areolas
They are flowers, they are duirnas and they are perfumed.
in the perinate they are oblanceolate
its globose fruit, curved seed
with their scores and reticulated
The brave doctor, Helia Bravoa Chende
all cacti and succulents
they enjoy their love
Tridentate larrea or governor
Which of the peyotes is the protector?
the rotundifollia and the mammylaris, pseudocoriphantas, the echinocactus and the jacamatracas
Doctor Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo!!!
He knew how to know them, he knew how to feed them
and the succulents as a reward
They gave him the juice that holds the secret of youth
