"Ya es hora" & "Ya lo ves" -What do these mean?

Question

I hear in alot of romantic songs the following 2 expressions:

Ya es hora- SD translates as 3 options: now is now, It is now, it is already now--My guess, it means "It's time..."

Ya lo ves - SD translates as 3 options : Now you see it ,So you see, you already see it.. -My guess, "You'll see"...as in like "ya lo veras"

If anyone can give me insight, that would be great. Not sure if the SD translators are translating them literally word-for-word, or if there are English equivalents that are more common.

Thanks Peas

I think your "guesses" are correct. - Jubilado, Jan 24, 2013

Ya lo ves..........Now you see it? (perhaps).....that's my attempt! - margarita1943, Jan 24, 2013

Answer 1

Ya es hora.

Yes, very common phrase, meaning, ¨Now it´s time¨

In general, when Spanish speakers say ¨It´s time to do something¨ or ¨it was time to begin¨, they use hora, and not tiempo.

For the second one, which I´ve seen, but not bothered to learn, we´ll have to both wait for someone else to chime in. I´m no help there.

Answer 2

Sometimes, (I seem to hear it when people are opining in the bar), it's used as English speakers would use phrases like "just you wait and see" "mark my words". In these cases drink has usually been taken.

Good explanation. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks. - rogspax, Jan 24, 2013
