I want to say the couple is lying under the trees.

Question

I'm writing a poem in Spanish and I want to say the couple is lying under the trees. there are so many ways to say someone is lying (as in lying down) I wonder the best way(s) to imply relaxation, a very positive enjoyable lying down?

To give you further context: I am describing a scene with Krisna and his companion Radha lying together in a loving embrace in a garden in the spring surrounded by flowers.

I can also post my poem when I am done. (I'm a beginner in Spanish, so it may be quite atrocious, but it IS a great homework assignment!)

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer 1

This sounds like a great assignment! What about "tumbados" as in "están tumbados a la sombra de los árboles". Just a thought...

• yes, the assignment is to write a poem that describes a picture (and include the picture) - kittybrougha Apr 12, 2010

Answer 2

In Mexico "están acostados bajo la sombra de los árboles"

Answer 3

Kitty, how nice to see you around I am happy to see you continue with your studies

And please D O post the poem once it is finished, we will gladly proofread it for you, and I also hope to see you more frequently now...have you seen on the "games and challenges" all the things we got? -voice recordings by natives for example?
