"A la gilada ni cabida yo la miro desde arriba"

Question

Hi todo,

I joined this forum after searching 1.5 hours trying to translate "A la gilada ni cabida yo la miro desde arriba"

Help me please!

I see the phrase on t-shirts with pictures of Bob Marley and the Dalai Lama so I'm thinking it must be some kind of proverb???

Muchas Thanks!

Welcome to SpanishDict. Perhaps you can help by adding your proficiency and gender to your profile. It makes a difference when leaning Spanish. - rac1, Jun 8, 2016

Are you intending to learn Spanish or just wanting a quick easy translation ? This is a learning site not a free translation service - ray76, Jun 8, 2016

Yes aileribel I see that it means "a gathering of fools" in Argentinian - GadaMadru, Jun 12, 2016

"A la gilada ni cabida yo la miro desde arriba"

Not a phrase I have seen or know, probably somewhat idiomatic, but since no one is answering:

My wild guesses:

A la gilada- grupo de tontos, conjunto de giles- idiot mob/stupid masses/dumb twits

Ni cabida-not even room-maybe there's no place for them (perhaps in my thoughts, world) or ignore them

Yo la miro desde arriba- I look down on it(them) from above/ I watch it from above (la= gilada)- maybe I am above it all

Just guesses to get things started. No claim that this is correct, or even completed.

Thanks, Daniela. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 8, 2016

Thanks, bosquederoble. :) Seems like it's a regionalism. - GadaMadru, Jun 12, 2016
