"...abre las manos" -Idiom?

Question

Espero por tu bien que abras las manos en un descuido mío

Does this use of abras las manos mean something like "ignore/bypass/passover?

At present I've got "I hope for your sake/your own good you open your hands to a slip/mistake/carelessness of mine.

Answer 1

Wow, good question. I wish I could answer it, but instead I'm curious about the "Espero por tu bien". I assume that "Espero por tu bien" is like "I hope for your sake"? I haven't heard it like that before either. Looks like "I hope for your sake that you open your hands on my mistake"

Yes, the whole phrase is unusual(to me) the context is a father talking to his daughter. - lagartijaverde, May 11, 2010

Answer 2

Wow, you should all learn Spanish and French at once, it's so close (yet so distant.)

In French: Espérant pour ton bien.

Answer 3

Hi bird, we need context, abre las manos could simply mean: open your hands (to show something)
