Answer 2

Me parece que la aviación de tandem se puso de moda no solo a la gente sino en el mundo de pájaros también.

It seems the tandem aviation became fashionable not only for people but in the world of birds too.

"...for people..." - AnnRon, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 3

The seagull (Herring Gull) on top sings a famous song by the English pop group, 'The Hollies' : "He ain't heavy ...he's my brother! "

La gaviota argéntea arriba canta una canción famosa del grupo de música pop nglés: The Hollies: ¡Él no es una carga....es mi hermano! "

Parece que las letras en los subtitulos estan escrito por Jose Luis Alvarado.

Es una canción de los sesentas (of the 60's) 1969

Here is a link to this song on Utube / Aquí tienes un enlace para escuchar esta canción:en Utube: enter link description here

Answer 4

Me deja justo en la parte superior de la cabeza de ese muchacho. Eso le aturdir, entonces podemos robar su helado.

Drop me right on top of that guy's head. That will stun him, then we can steal his ice cream.

Another good one. - AnnRon, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 5

"OK, what do I do when you need a rest?"

"Bien, ¿qué hago cuando necesitas un descanso?"

Good question. :-) - AnnRon, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 6

Emítame arriba Scotty yo dije, no me levante arriba.

Teletránsportame arriba, dije, no levántame arriba.

Beam me up Scotty I said, not lift me up .

Ray, I would say: Teletránsportame arriba, dije, no levántame I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

You would use the verb levantar not levantarse, because the second verb refers to lifting yourself up and is used for sentences where you talk about getting up in the morning ex Me levanto a las siete todos los días = I get up at seven every day - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

I hope this helps :) Very funny caption well done! I gave you a vote! :) - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

I couldn't find the verb you used emitar anywhere in my Oxford Spanish Dictionary Did you make up (invent) or guess the verb? - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Thanks Feliz, it was the closest I could get it said mirror me , well that was close to beam so I took a punt, some translations gave it as "beam me " , so I went for it. - ray76, Sep 1, 2016

You are welcome, Ray :) - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 7

He ain't heavy...oh wait, yes he is.

No pesa nada, oh espera, sí, pesa mucho.

Need help with the Spanish. Thanks. - rac1, Sep 1, 2016

:) - ian-hill, Sep 1, 2016

Most of it looks fine to me, Rac! :) I am still unsure whether last bit is quite right - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Rac, for your last part, I would probably put: "Sí, pesa mucho " instead of lo está. - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Gracias, Feliz. :) - rac1, Sep 2, 2016

Answer 8

¡Por amor de Dios! Mildred! ¿Tengo que hacer todo el trabajo? Al menos podrías aletear tus alas de vez en cuando.

For the love of God, Mildred! Do I have to do all the work? You could at least flap your wings occasionally.

¡Muy divertido, amiga! :) - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Lol - rac1, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 9

Amigos no dejan a amigos volar borrachos.

Friends don't let friends fly drunk.

Tricky one, Matt... I would say: Buenos amigos no permitten que sus amigos vuelen mientras están borracho,= Good friends don't allow their friends to fly (while) drunk but I am not sure about this one so perhaps best wait for confrmation from a native - FELIZ77, Sep 1, 2016

Answer 10

Aterrizaje en un ala y una oración.

Landing on a wing and a prayer
