La Tienda Abandonada

Hay una tienda de muchos años
nadie le compra por que se ve abandonada.
Poco despintada por allí por pasa nadie por que
tienen miedo de lo feo que es la tienda.
La tienda es gris.
Afuera esta sucio y
siempre hace mucho viento.
Las ventanas estan rompidas y
telarañas que ondean.

There is a store where for many years
no one has shopped because it looks abandoned.
The paint cracked and faded because
no one goes by, because the store is so ugly
it frightens them.
The store is grey. Outside
it's dirty and
the wind always blows a lot there.
The windows are shattered and
hold waving cobwebs.
