Need sleep! - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

solace2501 · 08-24-2007, 11:23 AM

Hi, I live in an apartment building, work nights and sleep days. My new neighbor likes a LOT of bass in his music and its making my bedroom walls vibrate. I tried to ask him to turn the bass down, but he doesn't speak a word of english, which is why I am here. I tried to cobble something together using online english-spanish dictionaries, but I think its giving me bass (the fish) instead of bass ( the opposite of treble).

Basicly, I need something like:

"I work nights and sleep during the day, could you please turn the bass down?"

please and thankye

Hi!! Sorry you have such a neighbour!! Here it is:

"Trabajo por la noche y duermo durante el d�a, podr�a por favor bajar el volumen del bajo?"

You could say something like "Trabajo de noche y necesito dormir en el d�a. Le agardecer�a por favor bajar el vol�men de su m�sica. Gracias

Good luck. Hope you get some sleep

I printed Veronica's translation and handed it to him as a note, since I'm sure I would butcher the pronunciation. It seems to have done the trick. Thanks guys.
