Hay que desencillar (desensillar) hasta que aclare

[laepelba]

I think that Peron (of Argentine politics) said this, but I can't figure out what it means. Help!! (Hopefully, Oooooookami will stumble upon this question......) I can't find "desencillar", but I CAN find "desensillar" - which I think means something about unsaddling a horse. ???? Thanks!

Quizás eso puede ayudarte, la palabra es desensillar (sillar chair)

Hay que desensillar hasta que aclare.. una frase campestre que implica que en momento de turbulencias, es mejor parar, y esperar que se aclare el panorama

no sé , pero pienso que significa,

Take a step back to look at the whole sitution
(Get off your horse to view the entire battlefield)


Literalmente
One should get off their horse until it becomes clear

Bob - remember that my Spanish isn't as good as yours. I have to look up almost every word you use..............

Sorry, its a definition that I copied from a website about spanish frases

Hope it makes sense

¡Muy bien Bob! It also means "to unsaddle"

@Lou Ann

En Chile we use de term "desencillar" to mean to get rid of the change you have on.

Sencillo, besides meaning single it also means change (loose coins)

You know, I don't even understand this in English. (Sheesh, can you believe how thick I am!?) What does it mean "to get rid of the change you have on". Change like monedas? How do you have "change on"??

Get off the horse and wait for the dust to settle, before making changes.

Right, like "monedas sueltas" = loose coins. That's what we call sencillo, and I am sure in Argentina is the same. You are bounds to hear something like ¿tienes sencillo?

Thanks, guys - I think I might be starting to wrap my arms around it..............

Well, it has been explained. I found this in a website, to understand it in the context:

"Desensillar hasta que aclare" dijo Perón en el año 1966, cuando era claro que lo que se venía era la dictadura militar de Onganía.

"Desensillar hasta que aclare" said Perón in 1966, when it was clear that a militar dictatorship was about to begin.

And in the English wiki page of Argentinian History (1966-1973):

In 1969, the CGT de los Argentinos (CGTA, headed by the graphist Raimundo Ongaro) headed social movements, in particular the Cordobazo, as well as other movements in Tucuman, Santa Fe and Rosario (Rosariazo). While Perón managed a reconciliation with Augusto Vandor, head of the CGT Azopardo, he followed, in particular through the voice of his delegate Jorge Paladino, a cautious line of opposition to the military junta, criticizing with moderation the neoliberal policies of the junta but waiting for discontent inside the government ("hay que desencillar hasta que aclare", said Perón, advocating patience). Thus, Onganía had an interview with 46 CGT delegates, among whom Vandor, who agreed on "participationism" with the military junta, thus uniting themselves with the Nueva Corriente de Opinión headed by José Alonso and Rogelio Coria.

I hope it's more clear now. And I'm actually studying that period of Argentinian history at the moment, just before posting this I was with that!

It's curious that you are coming here at the end of June, and I'm going to the USA at nearly the same time :P
