Che quote translation - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

Booboobidou · 09-09-2009, 12:04 PM

I want a quote from Ernesto 'Che' Guevara translating to have as a tattoo. As Che was Argentinian I want the quote in his native language. The quote in English is 'If you shudder with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine'

I appreciate any help

si te estremeces con indignaci�n ante la injusticia, entonces
eres mi camarada

I have never heard the original phrase in Spanish. Hope it helps!

Hello!

I am argentinian and I think that it sounds better like this:
"si te estremecés con indignación ante la injusticia, entonces sos mi camarada".
This is translated into our so-called "lunfardo", which is a kind of argentinian slang.

Regards!

Exactly...I had forgotten about the lunfardo.
estremec�s and sos!!!

The original quote was the following:
"No creo que seamos parientes muy cercanos, pero si usted es capaz de temblar de indignaci�n cada vez que se comete una injusticia en el mundo, somos compa�eros, que es lo m�s importante."

However, I would omit "usted", which I think is too formal for a tattoo. So, my suggestion is:

"Si sos capaz de temblar de indignaci�n cada vez que se comete una injusticia en el mundo, somos compa�eros"

Regards
