Thread: Birthday Video Text

Hey guys I speak spanish decently well and I am finishing a video for a surpise party tomorrow and I just want to make sure all the spanish is correct or some of the invites might notice, in which case I'd probably look foolish haha. I've posted my attempts and would appreciate any feedback/corrections

Today, the 21 of October is a day in which we gather to celebrate the 25th birthday of a great person.

Esta dia, el 21 de octobre es un dia en cual estamos aqui celebrar el 25 cumpleanos de una buena persona.

The story begins 25 years ago in El salvador, with a little magic and some bad luck (haha). To skip the boring parts, 25 years later we are here to celebrate the birthday of --

La historia comenza 25 anos pasado en El Salvador, con un poco de magia y algun mala suerte. Para pasar las partes abburidas, 25 anos despues ya estamos aqui celebrar la fiesta de ---

A person who many of us would call a great guy and a better friend.
(if we are drinking, or dunk)

Una persona que muchos de nostrous llamamos un buen hombre y un mejor amigo.

I might go as far as to say a wonderful boyfriend.
(but i'd be lying)

Podria decir un buen novio...
(Pero no quiero mentir)

Someone in which we can confide (just not with our secrets or anything important)

Un hombre en que podemos confiar
(pero no con secretos ni algo importante)

A hard worker (you'd be suprised how hard it is to sleep 23 hours a day).

Un buen trabajador
(es de extranar que dificil es dormir 23 horas al dia)

A great cook (This was actually just a joke, the photo here is the only evidence that --- has actually ever cooked, attempted to cook or pretended to cook. It might be the only time -- was ever near a grill, stove or other cooking device.)

Un buen cocinero
(Actualmente esto es un chiste, la foto aqui es la unica preva que -- ha cocinado, ha intentado cocinar o ha fingido cocinar. Es posible que fue la unica vez que -- fue cerca de una parilla, estofa o cualquier maquina de cocinando)

and above all:

Y mas que todo:

a great person (Nobody say anything, it's his birthday, we are obligated to "exaggerate" the truth).

Una buena persona (Nadie se puede negar, es su cumpleanos, y tenemos que "exagerar" la verdad)

But all jokes aside:

Pero hablando en serio:

--- is a wonderful person. Who has become a great friend to many. An honest, fun, energetic one.

--- Es una buena person. Un buen amigo de muchos. Y es muy honesto, divertido y tiene mucha enegeria.

It's for that reason that we are all here today to celebrate (also the free beer).

Y es por eso que estamos aqui hoy celebrar (tambien la cerveza es gratis)

Thanks again,
