    Question Saber + a... ¿qué significa?

    Hola a todos!

    Estoy en punto de traducir una canción y no reconozco el uso de "saber a," una frase que se repite en la canción. La he buscado en Wordreference, Real Academia Española, y Google pero sin éxito. ¿Alguién sabe? Aquí está el contexto:

    De la canción "Mojado," por Ricardo Arjona
    "Mojado sabe a mentira tu verdad / sabe a tristeza la ansiedad / de ver un freeway y soñar..."

    Muchas gracias a todos que lean,
    un saludo

    Hola lylek!
    Podrías decir: Se parece a, huele a, gusta como, me recuerda... depende del contexto

    Hay una canción de Serrat que dice: Tu nombre me sabe a hierba... es como decir: tu nombre me recuerda al olor de la hierba... me explico o te confundí más? jaja hope not

    Hi there! Mer, that's a great explanation...

    Now, lylek, I think translating that song is a really challenging work, for it's full of metaphores. However, I suggest " x feels like y" as a starting point...

    Great explanations and possible translations. although this is the one that applies here
    " x feels like y"
    I would also like to add another possibility

    tastes like ...of course it depends on the context...

    Realmente, el destino del mundo depende, en primer lugar, de los estadistas y, en segundo lugar, de los intérpretes.
