Thread: Nacha Pop- troubles with translation

Hi everybody,

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

Las diez, levántate, vístete, no vamos a llegar jamás
Refrescó, abrígate tengo prisa en ver que te pones hoy
Pórtate bien.
Las seis, hora de pasear, arréglate, 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
Vístete, sigo esperando escoge bien el interior
Te pruebas lo que te compré, pórtate bien.
Las tres, la noche ha ido bien
Ponte en pie que aquí no se puede hacer
Cúbrete, te vas a congelar
Esperare el momento para actuar
Si amor, esto es delicioso pero puede ser mejor al calor
Vístete, te sigo esperando blusa aquí, falda ya
Cálzate, pon cuero sobre seda negra
Vístete, aguantaré vístete, te sigo esperando
Sigo a tus pies vístete ya Tápate me sigues provocando un poco
Vístete, por favor.

Ok, no problem , post your try first , then we will try to help you, especially considering that this is HOMEWORK!!!!

thanks a lot, lets try, but my spanish isnt custhy

1: 10 o'clock, you wake up(? dont understand why is lavantA and te instead of levantaste ?- thats what i dont know in spanish), vistete- the same situation, but am i right thats past tense 'viste' ?
we are not going to arrive never???

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 ?

help me with that please, this is not a typical school spanish so have lots of troubles

david

"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: abrígate, abrigar, vístete, 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, levántate, vístete, no vamos a llegar jamás
Refrescó,refrescar abrígate tengo prisa en ver que te pones hoy
Pórtate portar (se) bien.
Las seis, hora de pasear, arréglate, 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
Vístete vestir, sigo esperando escoge bien el interior

Las tres, la noche ha ido bien
Ponte en pie que aquí no se puede hacer
Cúbrete,cubrir te vas a congelar

Si amor, esto es delicioso pero puede ser mejor al calor
Vístete, te sigo esperando blusa aquí, falda ya
Cálzate, calzar pon cuero sobre seda negra

Hi,
thanks for your help exxcéntrica, 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 corazón, 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

I hope it will turn out ok.

saludos
