Answer 1

Las alegrías de la vida son como burbujas: temporales, hermosas, y más ligeros que el aire.

The joys of life are like bubbles; temporary, beautiful and lighter than air.

Amen to that , and thankfully so. - ray76, Jan 13, 2011

I think we need a number agreement here. Since it's "alegrías", then the adjectives should also be plural: temporales, hermosas y más ligeras. Pretty. :-) - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2011

Answer 4

Tengo que fingir que atrapo otra, eso divierte a los viejos.

I have to pretend to catch one again ,it amuses the old ones.

Remember that pretender is a false friend of "to pretend". A better way to say this might be: "tengo que fingir que atrapo otra, eso divierte a los viejos". - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2011

Answer 8

Que bien ,mamá ha puesto burbajas en la baño otra vez. Good, mum has put bubbles in the bath again .

In this case "good" should be translated as "Qué bien". "Bueno", in this context, reads like "well". - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2011

Answer 9

Las pompas son una diversión limpia y sana.

Bubbles are good, clean fun.

Theresa, you did a good job with the literal translation. However, the meaning comes across as something very different. What you wrote in Spanish means "Bubbles are good, clean *and* fun". Probably a better way to translate "good,clean fun" is: - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2011

..."las pompas son una diversión limpia y sana". - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2011

Thanks Gekko...well bubbles are good, clean and fun, but you're right, that's not exactly what I meant to say. - theresa5, Jan 13, 2011

Answer 13

Burbujas de jabon-bon-bom, que bailan con esta canción, que vuelan por el aire, salpican, revientan, y reflejan, la luz del sol Hay burbujas que se van para abajo, hay burbujas que se van para arriba, caprichosas se mueven en el aire, pero lo más divertido es poderlas reventar!

Soap bubbles, bon-bom, that dance with this song, that fly through the air, the splash, bust, and shine, in the sunlight! There are soap bubbles, that go down, there are soap bubbles that go up, Whimsicaly they move through the air, but the most fun is when you break them!

Good , Joe :) - cogumela, Jan 13, 2011
