As a first step I did a "mix" between the Spanish text and a
translation from the English cover. The resulting text is more
compact, I think.
But... well: I never understood gimp. Their layers won again against
me so here it is the text on a Writer file, sorry:

I was not able to introduce it on the picture...

As a workaround about the translation of the gorgeous ending phrase, I
used the word "suite" before in the text (when talking about Math) and
then enclosed the word Suite between quotes (Spanish use «...» for
quotes) to make it clear that there is a double sense on the phrase:
most Spanish speakers should not have problems identifying the word
"sweet", I think... in the worst case they will use an on-line
dictionary ;)
The last difference is that in Spanish using Caps For All Words is
considered a grammar error :)
Cheers
Ricardo
