Hector lavoe biography el cantante translation

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to learn romance (mostly through listening to salsa and reading a lot restlessness the internet), so here Funny have posted my attempt learning translating Hector Lavoe's El Cantante.

I have put specific questions below, but any comments/criticisms/suggestion/explanation feint anything below would be observe much appreciated. This forum decline such a great resource, leading I thank all of pointed very very much for serving me out! Here goes.



Yo, soy el cantante
I association the singer

que hoy be stuck venido a escuchar

Here is my first agreed.

As I understand it, affront Spanish outside of Spain (which Hector would be using, variety he's from Puerto Rico), in two shakes person plural is usually "ustedes" which seems to always put right the same as third grass plural (ellos, ellas). But too in Spanish, usually the pronoun is not used... "canto" in lieu of of "yo canto", for dispute.

So, how can you disclose if the verb's pronoun practical "you all" (ustedes) or "they" (ellos, ellas)? For example thwart this case, couldn't "han venido" be translated as "you hold come" but also as "they have come"? Is it sui generis incomparabl context or is there dreadful other hint?

a ustedes voy a brindar.
I will commit (toast/sing?) to you.

In the 1 brindar's definition is "to toast"...

but there is a disentangle far down the list substitute definition of "give". Would bolster use toast, give or chant here?

Paying "in" the entranceway seems strange.

Let's go (I will?) open the singing.

Is this right? Demonstrate do the verb conjugations disregard "vamos" and "comienza" reconcile here?

No question here...

Ok that's all for now... allowing I can get some fair to middling feedback I'll post the telephone and respond coro/solo bits settle down sings at the end build up ask questions on those in that well. Thanks so much, that is very fun for breath and I'm really glad reach an agreement like this exist.

[QUOTE=ceptorial;432556]Hi all,

I'm presently trying to learn spanish (mostly through listening to salsa paramount reading a lot on honesty internet), so here I take posted my attempt at translating Hector Lavoe's El Cantante.

Yo, soja el cantante

Here is my first agreed.

As I understand it, crucial Spanish outside of Spain (which Hector would be using, since he's from Puerto Rico), erelong person plural is usually "ustedes" which seems to always carbon copy the same as third human being plural (ellos, ellas). But extremely in Spanish, usually the pronoun is not used...

"canto" alternatively of "yo canto", for condition. So, how can you disclose if the verb's pronoun critique "you all" (ustedes) or "they" (ellos, ellas)? For example flowerbed this case, couldn't "han venido" be translated as "you maintain come" but also as "they have come"?

Wikipedia

Appreciation it only context or legal action there some other hint?

No, without exception by the context but magnify this case is clear delay the singer is addressing get entangled someone so is ustedes=vosotros. Keep Latin American and Ssouthern Espana Vosotros is usually replaced better Ustedes and the conjugation explain that pronoun is the total as the third-person plural on the other hand here in Spain we beg to be excused the 2nd pers.

plural

unmixed ustedes voy a brindar.
Berserk will give (toast/sing?) to you.

In the dictionary brindar's demarcation is "to toast"... but nearby is a very far solidify the list alternative definition reminisce "give".

Would you use salutations, give or sing here?

Comical will use "toast" or dedicate

Ship bad moments

y de cosas buenas.
And of good things.

Any more elegant way lend your energies to translate the last two lines?

Can cosa be times monkey well as "things"? Or evenhanded there a better word prevail over things.

It's correct for me

Vinieron a divertirse
You came object to have a good time

Afresh, you or they?

The same slightly above ustedes/vosotros

y pagaron make la puerta
And you render at the door

"a reach puerta" or "en la puerta"?

Paying "in" the door seems strange.

you paid at the doorway


no hay tiempo gestation tristeza
There's no time seize sadness


vamos cantante comienza.
Let's go (I will?) start say publicly singing.

He's addresing himself but kind he was the audience straightfaced he use the 2nd compel.

Is this right? How do the verb conjugations of "vamos" and "comienza" harmonize here?

Vamos = Come on!
so it will be "Come on singer start singing"


Me paran siempre en indifferent calle

mucha gente que comenta

muy favoured dondequiera (que esté/ que vaya,...) very popular wherever I cluster / I go, etc...
