No estás deprimido, estás distraído
Hola, amigos ayudenme a traducir la siguiente frase.
Gracias! No caigas en lo que cayó tu padre, que se siente viejo porque tiene 70 años, olvidando que Moisés dirigía el éxodo a los 80 y Rubinstein interpretaba como nadie a Chopin a los 90, sólo por citar dos casos conocidos. No estás deprimido, estás distraído. Por eso crees que perdiste algo, lo que es imposible, porque todo te fué dado. No hiciste ni un solo pelo de tu cabeza, por lo tanto no puedes ser dueño de nada.

@Poli - is it possible you are confusing cause and effect here?

You are certainly correct. It's not imperative. I must have been swept away by the inspirational first sentences.

Hello,
I agree with Perikles, Additionally, I think the following sentence refers to the father, not to the listener Quote:

I thought that as well. But the whole thing is odd because it sends mixed messages, as Poli says. I can't help feeling that something is not right with the original.

I agree with Perikles and Sosia. This seems mixed up.

If they were talking about the listener, they would have said something like: "No caigas en lo que cayó tu padre. Te sientes viejo porque tienes 70 años". I would doubt If they had said: "No caiga en lo que cayó su padre. Se siente viejo porque tiene 70 años". The "usted" form is being used in this one and it's not very clear whom they refer to. Quote:
