Answer 1

Up, up and away! ¡Hacia arriba y lejos!

Makes me want to go sailing amiga! - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

I would say "lejos" for 'away'. Could be: "¡Hacia arriba y lejos!" or "¡Arriba, arriba y lejos!". Another alternative is "y alto" (high) if you mean 'away from the floor/ the Earth'. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

I like it, even if the Spanishis different. - annierats, Nov 9, 2013

Makes me alsways want to go sailing amiga, gracias :-) - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Thanks RC for your help. - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Muchas gracias RC - pmikan-pam, Nov 13, 2013

Did you hear that Lady Gaga will be the first person to sing in space? - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

Good place for her. There are a few other "singers" who should do the same. Why? No air, no sound. You have to love a vacuum. - gringojrf, Nov 8, 2013

It should be "querida" because he is holding the cord. Otherwise perfect and beautiful. - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Answer 3

Mi madre dijo que él no tenía sus pies en el suelo.

My mother said , he did not have his feet on the ground.

and she was correct! - 0095ca4c, Nov 9, 2013

He swept her off her feet. :) - ian-hill, Nov 9, 2013

"Mi madre dijo que él no tenía sus pies en el suelo" Almost perfect Ray. Mothers are, annoyingly, almost always right. - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Correct mate , they have the happy knack of putting you in your place at a time that you do not want to be there. Thanks mate. - ray76, Nov 9, 2013

Mothers! - annierats, Nov 9, 2013

Answer 4

Josh Groban's inspiration for the song 'You Raise Me Up'.

La inspiración para la canción 'You Raise Me Up' de Josh Groban.

I love that song , but somehow I doubt that your explanation is correct , but a nice thought , and touch Margy. - ray76, Nov 9, 2013

I mean song titles. - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Perfect. Just one pernickety note: songs shouldn't be translated. :P - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Thanks very much RC. I will not translate song titles again, I will not translate song titles again, I will not translate song titles again...hehehe :-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 9, 2013

Good one though amiga, I wish I would have thought of it. - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Ven a volar conmigo, vamos a volar vamos a volar lejos.

Everyone is singing today :-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

From the song "balloons of paradise"? - Aranjuez12, Nov 8, 2013

It's Frank Sinatra I think, Come Fly With Me...él está volando a Perú - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

I thought it was made famous by" Dean Martin" Ian hope you don't mind I added a Spanish version , it is moer lively. - ray76, Nov 9, 2013

Sorry about the typo I was in a hurry , aren't I always. - ray76, Nov 9, 2013

One of the few foreign songs ever to be in our hit parade. :) - ian-hill, Nov 9, 2013

Let's float down.. in the blue! - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

It's that kind of picture, it makes us want to sing. - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 6

(Shortly before their divorce...) "Why aren't we flying? Have you gained weight?"

(Antes de su divorcio...) ¿Por qué no volamos? Ha subido de peso?

Those could have been his last words. - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Si! - elwombato, Nov 9, 2013

That's not a question you can ask a lady - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 7

Meanwhile in a hotel room... Oh dear, this weed is superb!

Mientras tanto en un cuarto de hotel... ¡Oh cariño, esta mota esta buenísima!

Long time no see - how are you amigo? - ian-hill, Nov 9, 2013

Greetings, sir. It's good to see you again. - nelson_rafael, Nov 9, 2013

Since you are fluent in Spanish (Bolivia). I will just give a variation in Spanish from Spain: "Mientras tanto en una habitación de hotel... ¡Oh cariño, esta hierba es magnífica/soberbia!" :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

:-) - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Nelson was of my students in Cochabamba - a very good one :) - ian-hill, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 8

¡Todo el mundo necesita que le suban el ánimo un levantamiento de vez en cuando.

Everyone needs a lift every now and then!

lift is for 'emotional uplift'? - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Yes amigo - ian-hill, Nov 9, 2013

Yes, RC, I mean an "emotional uplift" or encouragement. Would "una subida de ánimo de vez....." work better? - bandit51jd, Nov 9, 2013

Thanks for helping, Ian! - bandit51jd, Nov 9, 2013

Ok, and yes. "Subir el ánimo" is the expression you are looking for. "Todo el mundo necesita que le suban el ánimo de vez en cuando" or "Todo el mundo necesita una subida de ánimo..." :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Good one - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Gracias, RC y Hola, Pam! - bandit51jd, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 9

Por suerte llevo puesto el broche que me dio mi abuelita, para que podamos estallar los globos cuando estemos listos para bajar al suelo.

Luckily, I'm wearing the brooch my grandma gave me, so we can pop the balloons when we're ready to come down to earth.

Grandma is watching amiga...behave yourselves :-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

Carrying a huge net to catch them when they fall, I hope. :D - Naya_Dask, Nov 8, 2013

"Por suerte llevo puesto el broche que me dio mi abuelita"+ "para que podamos" or "para poder" + "estallar los globos cuando estemos listos para bajar al suelo". Lots of subjunctive here. Saludos! - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Lots of subjunctive and I missed all of them. NVM. Next time. Thank you RC. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 9, 2013

Safe landings - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 10

Let's hope there is no monkey passing by.

Esperemos que no hay un mono que pasa por allí

Because he would be into some monkey business Aran?? - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

jaja Margherite, you're funny!....I guess it will be twelve monkeys then, I guess - Aranjuez12, Nov 8, 2013

No because there's a game with balloons and monkeys with dangerous pins. :-) - Aranjuez12, Nov 8, 2013

O I C, I'm glad you explained. I don't know that game. - 0095ca4c, Nov 8, 2013

"Esperemos que no haya (subjunctive) ningún (no monkey) pasando (passing by) por allí". - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Monkeys vs baloons, interesting... - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 11

One vulture to the other: Hey! It could be our lucky day!

Un buitre al otro: ¡Oye! ¡Podría ser nuestro día de suerte!

More natural: ...nuestro día de suerte. - nelson_rafael, Nov 9, 2013

I agree: "día de suerte" fits better" ¡Saludos! - RelaxingCup, Nov 9, 2013

Thank you, gentlemen! - Raja-jani, Nov 9, 2013

Lucky for someone - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013
