"Siéntate a la puerta de tu casa y verás el cadáver de tu enemigo pasar".

Answer 1

"Sit at the window of your house and see the corpse of your enemy pass."

This could be a refererence to war on your homeland. The dead bodies of your enemies could be being carried past your window. Or, it could have a more figurative meaning. What that might be, I'm not sure.

Thanks, Kdrinning.I think the meaning is more figurative. It has more to do with not taking justice in your own hands. Let's see if another contributor can help us. - francobollo, Mar 26, 2012
