I've heard "rockear" or "roquear" used as slang. En España se oye, "como eso me mola" and other similar expressions.

For the meaning of the cartoon below, you could translate it as "Spanish rocks!"

Hello Raasrick

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

It all depends what you mean by, "Rock on!" wink Rock on has become a popular expression but it is very idiomatic and colloquial and how you would trranslate it would depend greatly on what you understand it to mean (what you mean by it) and how you are using it!

Here are some alternatives depending on context: ie: what you mean / want to say:

1.If by "Rock on" you mean: Keep on going ...in this way / like this

I believe that you could say Sigue así /o sigue así adelante

2.If you mean, Go for it! You could just say " íDale!

3.If you mean, Wow, that's great! You could say: ¡Genial! o ¡Qué Estpuendo!

If this is not what you mean by Rock on please explain what you understand it to mean/mean by this expression, as this expression is/can be used by people in different ways:

Please give an example /examples to show how you would use it in context.

There is a British comedian called Bobby Ball (part of a double act with Tommy Cannon) who used to have a catch phrase;

"Rock on Tommy! "

I hope this helps smile

Rock as in "Rock n Roll" music is the same, at least here in Baja. But it is a noun not a verb. I have never heard: sigue rockando, for example. So my guess is that this does not translate to Spanish.
