Nace Blancanieves
Snow-white is born
Spanish
En pleno invierno, mientras los copos de nieve caían como plumas, una reina cosía junto a una ventana de ébano, una madera muy negra. Mientras cosía y miraba la nieve, se pinchó un dedo con la aguja. Tres gotas de sangre cayeron sobre el blanco de la nieve.
English translation
In the middle of winter, as snowflakes fell like feathers, a queen was sewing beside a window made of ebony, a very black wood. As she sewed and watched the snow, she pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the white snow.
Spanish
A la reina le pareció tan hermoso aquel contraste que pensó:
«Ojalá tuviera un bebé con la piel blanca como la nieve, las mejillas rojas como la sangre y el cabello negro como este marco».
English translation
The queen found that contrast so beautiful that she thought:
“I wish I had a baby with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as this frame.”
Spanish
Poco después nació una niña que tenía exactamente aquellos colores, y por eso la llamaron Blancanieves. Pero la reina murió al dar a luz.
English translation
Soon afterward, a girl was born with exactly those colors, so they named her Snow White. But the queen died in childbirth.
