T shirt

[gerwyls]

I saw this T shirt recently in Madrid but I can't translate it. Can anybody help?
Alguien que
me quiero mucho
me ha traido
esta birria
de camiseta
de ... madrid
Thanks, Gerry

Hi Gerry, and welcome.

The hard part in this translation is "birria", since it could have several possible translations.

I'd translate it something like this:

Someone who loves me a lot
brought me this useless shirt
from Madrid.

Oh, and it's "Alguien que me quiere mucho"

Maybe sosia can offer you a better translation, since he's from Spain.

birria it's slang, but tomisimo it's acurate.
birria it's a thing of bad quality or bad-done, or old, or something like that

"Someone who loves me a lot brought me this"
useless
lousy
crappy
stingy
" t-shirt from Madrid"

the meaning it's always the same

Thanks for confirming the meaning of birria- It's not used in Mexico at all, as far as I know.

Someone I like (or likes me?) has brought me this silly t-shirt from Madrid.

Hmmmm, if it was "someone I like", it would be "alguien que quiero" or "alguien a quien quiero", without the "me".

Anyways, now that I've stepped away from the original question a bit, a more colloquial, and probably better translation comes to mind:

Someone though enough of me to bring me this stupid shirt from Madrid.
