Can anyone tell me if I´m correct in my understanding of the following sayings please.

¡Que salga el sol por Antequera!

Antequera (or wherever) by dawn/sunrise

He pensado venderla para sacarme unas pelillas I have thought of selling it to get me out of ???? I can´t find anything for pelillas but guess it may be trouble/debt.

Thanks

The first saying translated is "That leaves the sun by Antequera!" The second one translated is "I have thought to sell it to remove to me pelillas. "For pelillas, I think it means hairs. Look at ".freetranslation.com" I hope this helps!

Thanks for the effort - as you will see below -some of these funny expressions that translate word for word mean somethin completely different as an idiom or expression - but good effort. - caza, Aug 23, 2010

pelillas is diminutive for pelas, which means a few bucks.

Salga el sol por Antequera y póngase por donde quiera is used to express you don´t care about somehting. Wherever the sun may rise it won´t affect you.
