Pay it forward

Pay it forward
 
Wikpedia has an entry for this expression.

The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of asking that a good deed be repaid by having it done for others instead. (Wikipedia)

Is there a good Spanish expression to convey this idea?

(Short of giving an explanation, like, "no me lo devuelvas a mí, hazle el mismo favor a alguien que lo necesite..." "devolver el favor haciéndoselo a otro")

Any shorter way to say it in Spanish?

I will pay forward your assistance, helping someone else...

Devolveré tu/vuestra/su ayuda, ayudando a alguien más...

Por si acaso no viste la peli Cadena de favores, te la recomiendo y, de igual manera, el título.

Chapeau!
No la he visto, pero el título va como anillo al dedo.
Gracias!

Pasa el favor a otro

Así lo decimos acá: "pasá el favor", "hacélo circular"

JPablo June 23, 2012 12:07 AM

Gracias a los dos... y veré a ver a quién le paso el favor...
