Yes you can't beat the good oldies, back to your project I translate songs to Spanish I google for the lyrics in English then I copy and paste to google translator and then get to work on the grammar from the translation I agree some can be difficult. - kenwilliams, Feb 17, 2012

I knoiw songs from the 30s & 40s & 50s etc - Spenco, Feb 17, 2012

Thank you Stewart you must show me how to do that trick please. - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

Answer 1

Hi Ray, I found a side-by-side comparison of the lyrics in Spanish and English. I couldn't find the lyrics you mentioned, but Goldie did a good job capturing that idea. As you and the song said, "Sólo hemos empezado a vivir".

Thanks mate , that was kid of you . - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

Raymond..."That was K I D of you." ;) - Destroyed99, Feb 17, 2012

OOps sory mate I gave the thickest fingers on SD, and some would say the thickest brain also , supposing i do have a brain that is. - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

" I have " see what I mean ! - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

Answer 2

From SD dictionary:

the future looks bright (for him) >> el futuro se le presenta brillante/prometedor

Entonces, diría: Ciertamente el futuro se presenta brillante.

I used "ciertamente" to add the emphasis of "indeed". I'm not sure if it worked lol

That looks good to me Goldie, thanks for helping out! - StuartSD, Feb 17, 2012

Sure - Goldie_Miel, Feb 17, 2012

Answer 3

El futuro parece brillante, sumamente brillar con gran posibilidades.

Hi Gringo , that is saying the future "seams bright" , is that quite the same as " looks bright " ? - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

You look pretty tonight. Te pareces bonito esta noche. So yes it means looks bright. - gringojrf, Feb 17, 2012

I sure wish there was an edit button for comments. So I didn't have to delete and retype to correct a typo. - gringojrf, Feb 17, 2012

Oh thank you , I have learned something here , great , appearances can be deceptive ! - ray76, Feb 17, 2012

Answer 4

That quote is correct mate , it is from the book by Bruce Lee , but no I do not want the whole song translated just that verse it was interesting in the context of my life.

But thank you for your kind thoughts , not enough people around who are well

meaning and thoughtful . May you be well and happy.

Answer 5

I believe you are referring to a quote from pages 156-157 of Letters of the Dragon in a Letter to Linda

The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead - big possibilities' Like the song says "We've only just begun."

So, are you looking to translate whole song into Spanish?
