Can you help me with a childrens book?

Question

I'm trying to translate Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? into spanish. I have the audio on cd in spanish but I'm having trouble figuring out what the last couple of sentenced are that I'm hearing. In English it reads...and a teacher looking at us. That's what we see. But the spanish sounds like this: "y a nuestra maestra que muy contenta nos ves son _____." I think they've added the very happy part about the teacher but what could the last part of the sentence be? "nos ves son_____"

Thank you for helping me. The sentence is "Ven un oso pardo, un pajaro rojo......y a nuestra maestra que muy contenta nos ves son____." It sounds like ray-yee. But she says it so fast that I can't make it out clearly. - rstacey, Oct 11, 2009

Answer 1

Could you give us the entire sentences in English and maybe even the one before it. Looking a descriptions of this book online (Oso pardo, oso pardo, ¿qué ves ahí?) I understand that the questions are similar in syntax?

Also until I looked at descriptions of the book, I had no idea that the tú in ves referred to the oso pardo. What follows the son? Is it something similar to "son los que vemos". You're asking us to solve a puzzle with giving us even half of the pieces.

Obviously, they aren't translating the English word for word:.

and a teacher looking at us.

y una maestra viéndonos

That's what we see.

"Eso es lo que vemos."

Without knowing the first part of the English sentence I can't understand where the "ves" comes from. It is not in the English sentence.
