Nacha Pop- troubles with translation - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

davidosX · 03-03-2008, 09:14 AM

Hi everybody,

can anyone please help mi with this lyric of Nacha Pop, especially with the first lines,

Las diez, lev�ntate, v�stete, no vamos a llegar jam�s
Refresc�, abr�gate tengo prisa en ver que te pones hoy
P�rtate bien.
Las seis, hora de pasear, arr�glate, tengo apetito ya
Sientan bien trapos como el de ayer la cremallera yo te la abrochare
Si amor quiero ver que te pones
Me excita de verdad, me pone a cien
V�stete, sigo esperando escoge bien el interior
Te pruebas lo que te compr�, p�rtate bien.
Las tres, la noche ha ido bien
Ponte en pie que aqu� no se puede hacer
C�brete, te vas a congelar
Esperare el momento para actuar
Si amor, esto es delicioso pero puede ser mejor al calor
V�stete, te sigo esperando blusa aqu�, falda ya
C�lzate, pon cuero sobre seda negra
V�stete, aguantar� v�stete, te sigo esperando
Sigo a tus pies v�stete ya T�pate me sigues provocando un poco
V�stete, por favor.

thanks in advance, just trying to translate this for my spanish classes i have some grammar problems ;]

2: I refresh, abrigate (even google has a big problem with this

I'm in a rush to see (how) the way u dressed today ?

"Levántate, vístete", etc., these are verbs in imperative form:

Ten o'clock, get up, get dressed, we will never get there on time.
It's got cold, put on warm clothes, I can't wait to see what you put on today.
Behave properly...

I hope this helps you. I agree with Exxcéntrica, if this is homework, you should give it a try first. Instead of using your computer and Google, why don't you try it the old way? Open a good English-Spanish dictionary and do some research there.

Hi David, as Carlos said, that's the way to go, best with an old fashioned dictionary.

Almost all verbs with "te" at the end are imperatives: abr�gate, abrigar, v�stete, vestir....,so they are not past simple as you thought.

I will help you out with some infinitives, then , please, if you wish, give us your translation and we will gladly proofread it.

Las diez, lev�ntate, v�stete, no vamos a llegar jam�s
Refresc�,refrescar abr�gate tengo prisa en ver que te pones hoy
P�rtate portar (se) bien.
Las seis, hora de pasear, arr�glate, tengo apetito ya
Sientan bien trapos clothes como el de ayer la cremallera yo te la abrochare abrochar
Si amor quiero ver que te pones
Me excita de verdad, me pone a cien
V�stete vestir, sigo esperando escoge bien el interior
Te pruebas probar lo que te compr�, p�rtate bien.
Las tres, la noche ha ido bien
Ponte en pie que aqu� no se puede hacer
C�brete,cubrir te vas a congelar
Esperare el momento para actuar
Si amor, esto es delicioso pero puede ser mejor al calor
V�stete, te sigo esperando blusa aqu�, falda ya
C�lzate, calzar pon cuero sobre seda negra
V�stete, aguantar� aguantar v�stete, te sigo esperando
Sigo a tus pies v�stete ya T�pate tapar me sigues provocando un poco
V�stete, por favor.

Hi,
thanks for your help exxc�ntrica, CarlosRoberto, good to know someone can help :]
because I had to prepare one song for my classes and that one was a little difficult so I decided to choose one of the greatest hits of Roxette Habla el coraz�n, was easy and I needed that (short of time)

but now, back to your advices, will try to cope with nacha pop, checking how to build imperative form, have a good spanish-polish dictionary (I'm polish) but sometimes the Internet offers more than dictionaries,
thanks for infinitives forms-- very helpful :] will show u my results at weekend

regards
david
