¡¡¡¡Dejad la dieta y vestid con colores oscuros, dicen que adelgaza!!!!
- Leave the diet and dress in dark colors, they say that is thinning. :) You can translate dejar as "let" when dejar could also mean permitir. - 003487d6 Jan 22, 2010 flag

- caja DE zapatos - Heidita Jan 22, 2010 flag
- I was afraid that "caja de zapatos" meant "box (full) of shoes" instead of "shoebox". - LaBurra Jan 22, 2010 flag
- is it necessary to say "una niña" in this case, or would simply "niña" be enough - cuando era niña? - Issabela Jan 22, 2010 flag
- Good question! I often struggle with when to use the article. Maybe I'll ask it as a separate question. - LaBurra Jan 22, 2010 flag

Cuando dejas a alguien solo en un rincón oscuro por mucho rato, los ojos empiezan a enfocar poco a poco. Ellos ven las cositas y no te importan lo pequeñas que son, porque te ayudan; Existen en lo que tú deseas más, el poder en que puedes salirte
When you leave someone in a dark corner alone for a long time, the eyes begin to focus little by little. They see the little things, it doesn’t matter how small they are; they’re there to help you with what you want most. They give you the power to get away.

- empiezan a, no importa lo pequeñas, last part very wrong, change the sentence - Heidita Jan 22, 2010 flag
- one of the translators gave me 'no importar cuán pequeño ellos son' I am unfamiliar with using (ifinitive + cuán) in this manner; I guess I always mistakenly used TAN instead....? - bdclark0423 Jan 22, 2010 flag
