If you are a young man who is in love with a woman, then what fate awaits you? You will learn to wait for her; you will wait, and wait, and wait. And if you are patient enough, well, that is why we wait.

Si eres un hombre joven que está enamorado de una mujer, entonces lo que el destino le espera? Aprenderás a esperar por ella; podrás esperar, y esperar, y esperar. Y si eres lo suficientemente paciente, bien, por eso esperamos.

Waiting

To wait is the worst part of be the family´s drive, because in my city exist a lot fake taxis.

Await is my problem cuz i have to wait for anything, for the semaphore, another cars, wait to my sister out of the university, my mom outside of her job, wait for the car to warm up.

At the end of the day worth it because i know that my family is safe of the criminals of my city, and the fact to know how to drive and my sister (the favorite) not xDDD

Lo que quise decir:

Esperar es la peor parte de ser el conductor de la familia, porque en mi ciudad existes muchos taxis piratas.

Aguardar es mi problema porque tengo que esperar por todo, por el semáforo, otros carros, esperar a mi hermana fuera de la universidad, mi mamá afuera de su trabajo, esperar a que el carro se caliente.

Al final del día vale la pena porque sé que mi familia está segura de los criminales de mi ciudad, y el hecho de saber como conducir y mi hermana (la favorita) no. xDDD

"family's driver", "awaiting is my problem because I have to wait for everything, for the streetlight, for other cars, for my sister outside the university, for my mom outside of her job, and for the car to warm up. " - bosquederoble, Sep 20, 2015
