by Andrés Eloy Blanco Meaño (1897 - 1955)
Translation

Amolador
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Amolador, amuela,
silba tu silbato, silba
hasta que silbar te duela,
hasta que estén amolados
el silbo de tu silbido
y el filo de mis tijeras.

Mira que tengo que hacer
pañales y pañoletas
para el niño de mis noches,
y el niño de Nochebuena.
