What does 'arriba…abajo…adentro' translate to mean?

Welcome to Spanishdict. Here is a link to the rules that will help make this the best learning site possible. One of the tools here is a translator. You can enter a word or phrase and check out the results. (Just a warning: not all responses can be taken as Gospel, especially phrases, so it is good to check with the experts here.)

I'll give you the first one: "arriba" is "up" or "above".
