No te olvides; por difícil que sea la situación, siempre hay luz al final del túnel . . . . .

Don't forget, no matter how difficult the situation, there is always light at the end of the tunnel . . . . .

Try looking at this pic for 2 minutes, and then look around the room, and you'll see that tunnel everywhere! surprised

¡Trata de mirar esta foto por dos minutos, entonces mira por toda la habitación, y vas a ver ese tunel en todas partes! cool smirk

Hay un chiste:

Prequnta: Por qué está todo la gente en Nueva Jersey siempre tan depresoso (I'm being stubborn and following the rules and I'm not looking up depressed) deprimida

Respuesta: Porque la luz al final del tunel está Nueva York.

There is a joke:

Question: Why are the people in New Jersey always so depressed?

Answer: Because the light at the end of the tunnel is New York

(This can be told the other way around, and often is, but hey, I live in NJ)

I wonder what I'm going to find at the end of the tunnel, a safer and a better place or a steep cliff? Anyway, either seems better than staying here in the darkness.

¿Me pregunto qué voy a encontrar al final del tunel, un lugar que es más seguro y mejor o un empinado acantilado ? De Todas formas, cualquiera de los dos parece mejor que quedandome aquí en la oscuridad.

After correction (Thanks to Vicente)

Me pregunto qué voy a encontrar al final del túnel, ¿Un lugar mejor y más seguro o un acantilado? Como sea, cualquiera de los dos parece mejor que quedarse aquí en la oscuridad

For many people, the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an oncoming train. Watch out!

Para muchas personas, la luz al final del túnel es el faro de un tren que se acerca. ¡Cuidado!

Creepy tunnels usually have some spider webs.

Los túneles espeluznantes usualmente tienen algas telarañas telas de araña.

Oh, no, tunnels are creepy, at least this one has a light! - bandit51jd, Jul 29, 2011
Almost hot this one Vicente! Did you know telarañas is in the SD dictionary? It´s further down the page from ¨telas de araña¨ under spider! Thanks, again! - bandit51jd, Jul 29, 2011

Am i dead?, Where will i finish?, in the heaven, in the limbo... In the hell for sure. I really don't know, maybe after the tunnel a new life waiting for me... hopefully.


¿Estoy muerto?, ¿Donde terminaré?, en el cielo, en el limbo... En el infierno seguramente. Realmente no lo sé, quizás despúes del tunel me espera una nueva vida... ojalá.

Cariño, ¡esto es el colmo! ¿Cúantas veces les tengo que decir a los niños, "apaguen las luces?

Honey, I've had it! How many times do I have to tell the kids, "turn off the lights?"

La luz al final del tunel indica que el viaje está casi terminado.

The light at the end of the tunnel indicates that the journey is almost complete.
