Cuando era niño, y pedía algo demasiado caro, mi madre siempre me decía "si los deseos fueran caballos, mendigos montarían".

When i was a kid, and asked for something too expensive, my mother would always tell me: "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

Un día, no pudo aguantar el secreto por más tiempo y contó a su abuela lo que sentía por el hombre: ella quería vivir con él.

One day, unable to bear the secret any longer, she told her grandmother what she felt for the man, and that she wished to live with him.

Me ojala un día que yo hablaré español muy bueno, sin pensarlo, "¡Ay, mi cabeza!"

I hope one day I will speak Spanish very well, without thinking, "Ouch, my head!"

I'm not sure -- but maybe "Espero que algún día voy.........etc" is better. :) - ian-hill, Nov 18, 2013
Oh, I see what you mean, Ian. I used I wish instead of I hope... (I'm always over-thinking everything!) I'll wait to see if I've made any other goofs and come back to make repairs. Good thing this language comes with a warranty! ;D Muchas gracias. - Findy, Nov 18, 2013
