Bueno, bueno, que no es para ponerse así, que el hilo va de temas carcelarios, ¿qué esperas? Aquí llevamos tatuajes en el pecho, algunas cicatrices y no nos distinguimos por nuestra delicadeza, sino que atacamos para defendernos.
Questo è come un ballo in máschera. Se puede estar en chirona, en el trullo o a la sombra. Supongo que la gente de Meco tiene muchos más nombres para referirse a la cárcel...

Meco es una ciudad cercana a Madrid donde hay una de las cárceles más grandes de España. I wouldn't know how to translate No es para ponerse así into English. Pls, wait for some help. I could try to explain it, but Iris will give you a better choice. Que el hilo va de temas carcelarios means: The tread is about prison subjects. ¿Qué esperas? = ¿What do you expect? ![]() Anyway, your interpretation is funnier than my post: Bah, no merece la pena llegar a donde yo he llegado. Pero así es como acabamos los reclusos como yo...

I'm really sad, Iris, you thought I'm unfriendly. I've drawn a broken heart on my cell wall. I don't stop staring at it. Do you think it will recover its former being?

You didn't seem to care much yesterday. In fact you seemed to be proud of it, it was part of you ,you said, like your tatoos.Why the change of heart? Have you decided to reform?
Besides, you know what they say "Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you".

I promise I'm trying. Please, believe me. When I woke up this morning my head was in blank. Little by little, painfully, I began remembering all the pain alcohol had made. Some broken bottles were around my bed. Maybe I was drinking till sunrise.
That's human nature. We are angels and devils, Love and Hate, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, lightness and darkness, Ying and Yang, male and female... Please, love me as I am (I promise you will have fun ![]()

You should go into writing... tienes un teatro...
I'm not sure I understand the last sentence. Do you mean "love me as I am ( I promise you'll have fun)? I loved that bit about all of us being angels and demons... ![]()

You cannot use sweetheart as an adjective. You can say she is my sweetheart. Sweet girl. And here I am destroying the romance...

Reforma es muy difíícil. Uno puede decir que no va tomar una gota mas pero cuando te suelta (si acaso te suelte) todo cambia. Cuando entras una tienda con bolsillos hondos y sin dinero, llegará el viejo antojo de
de llenarlos con compritas... primero un salami o quesito...después quien sabe hasta que vuelvas con tus amigos en Meco. Por lo menos te ailimentan alli, y con aceso a un ordenador tengas el mundo acuesta. Maria José, si sigas con ese tipo, ¡aguas! Words for prison en English: the joint, the big house, up the river, the clink, hoosgow (from juzgado),the pen Last edited by poli; April 30, 2008 at 06:34 AM. |

So you say.....
Estuve 5 años en la sombra OR Estuve 5 años a la sombra? Otras palabras para cárcel: prisión, bote, .... in English behind bars, gaol (UK)... Hace poco un amigo me dice: "Fulano está remando". Y como no entendí, me dice que Fulando está en el bote (cárcel) y por eso está remando, porque bote también significa lancha or boat. Note: This usage probably only works in Mexico.
