El horóscopo que se cumplió The horoscope that came true

Yo no creo en los horóscopos. Dani, mi compañero de piso, sí: cada mañana pone la radio para escuchar el suyo.

I don't believe in horoscopes. Dani, my roommate, does: every morning he turns on the radio to listen to his.

Hoy, mientras desayunábamos, ha empezado el horóscopo: «Leo: la luna entra en tu signo y las estrellas tienen un plan para ti».

Today, while we were having breakfast, the horoscope started: "Leo: the moon is entering your sign and the stars have a plan for you."

«¡Leo! ¡Ese soy yo!», ha gritado Dani.

"Leo! That's me!" Dani shouted.

«Hoy alguien vendrá a tu casa y te dirá algo importante. Habrá mucha agua, pero no tendrás nada que temer».

"Today someone will come to your house and tell you something important. There will be a lot of water, but you'll have nothing to fear."

«Por la tarde sabrás una buena noticia, te pondrás muy contento y querrás celebrarla».

"In the afternoon you'll find out some good news, you'll be very happy and you'll want to celebrate it." (to a man)

Me he reído: «Dani, nadie puede adivinar el futuro. A los planetas les da igual tu vida».

I laughed: "Dani, no one can predict the future. The planets don't care about your life."

«Ya veremos», ha dicho él. «Si se cumple, esta noche pagarás tú la cena».

"We'll see," he said. "If it comes true, you'll pay for dinner tonight."

Dani se ha ido a trabajar. Yo hoy trabajaba en casa.

Dani left for work. I was working at home today.

A las once han llamado a la puerta. «¿Quién será?», he pensado. No esperaba a nadie.

At eleven someone knocked on the door. "Who could that be?" I thought. I wasn't expecting anyone.

Era Carmen, la dueña del piso: «Ana, hija, en la radio dicen que esta tarde vendrá una tormenta. ¡Recoge la ropa de la terraza!».

It was Carmen, the owner of the apartment: "Ana, dear, they say on the radio that a storm will come this afternoon. Bring in the laundry from the terrace!"

Por la tarde el cielo estaba despejado y he salido sin paraguas. Claro: a las cinco ha caído un chaparrón enorme y me he mojado de la cabeza a los pies.

In the afternoon the sky was clear and I went out without an umbrella. Of course: at five there was a huge downpour and I got wet from head to toe.

He entrado en un bar y he mirado el móvil: un mensaje de Lucía. «¡Tengo dos entradas para el concierto del domingo! ¿Vendrás conmigo?».

I went into a bar and looked at my phone: a message from Lucía. "I have two tickets for Sunday's concert! Will you come with me?"

Me he puesto muy contenta y he pedido un trozo de tarta para celebrarlo.

I got really happy and ordered a piece of cake to celebrate (woman speaking).

Al salir, ya no llovía y sobre la ciudad había un arcoíris enorme.

When I left, it wasn't raining anymore and there was a huge rainbow over the city.

En casa, Dani me esperaba muy serio: «Hoy nadie ha venido a verme, no me he mojado y no sé nada nuevo».

At home, Dani was waiting for me, very serious: "Today nobody came to see me, I didn't get wet, and I don't know anything new."

«Pues a mí me ha pasado todo», he dicho. «Parece que las estrellas se han equivocado de habitación».

"Well, everything happened to me," I said. "It looks like the stars got the wrong room."

«Entonces se ha cumplido», ha dicho Dani. «Esta noche pagas tú».

"Then it came true," Dani said. "You're paying tonight."

He pagado la cena. Todavía no creo en los horóscopos, pero mañana pondré la radio yo. Por si acaso.

I paid for dinner. I still don't believe in horoscopes, but tomorrow I'll turn on the radio myself. Just in case.
