Eres un escalofrío

Question

You're a creep. Is this the best way? Escalofrío means shiver but....

Pero soy un escalofrío, soy una rareza, ¿Que demonios estoy haciendo aquí? Yo no pertenezco aquí........yo no pertenezco aquí........ Radiohead lyrics I found translated into Spanish.

Gracias.

Answer 1

In the SD dictionary: Coloq.) To give somebody the creeps, ponerle los pelos de punta a alguien, darle escalofríos a alguien.

However, giving someone shivers and being a shiver aren't the same thing and my guess is that it sounds as odd in Spanish to say "Soy un escalofrío" as "I'm a shiver." sounds in English. I could be wrong but I've never heard it and I can't find any reference to it.

For creep, I would just say "desgraciado".

Agreed. "Soy un escalofrío" makes no sense to me. And it is certainly not an adequate translation for "I'm a creep" (I think Marías options are good). - Gekkosan, Aug 9, 2010

Answer 2

What about asqueroso/a or indeseable?

Radiohead Creep

That looks like a translation. - jeezzle, Aug 9, 2010

Answer 3

Podría ser ¿Qué diablos estoy haciendo aquí ? también.
