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... |
