    Para Mis Amigos Bilingües-Ayudame Por favor

    I'm trying to do my thank you notes from my baby shower for our Spanish speaking friends. My poetry isn't the best, so I thought I'd ask our more fluent Spanish speakers for their help.

    Here is the poem:


    Quisiera decir, aunque no estoy aqui todavía
    Gracias por los regalos para empesar mi vida
    Y gracias departe de mis padres, tambien
    Por todos los regalos, que estan muy bien
    Mi gabinete estava vacio, mis cosas era pocas
    Pero todo eso ha cambiado, por Ustedes, digo muchisimas gracias!

    Thanks in advance!

    Ola Amiguita,
    Tuyo poema es muy gracioso, importante es que vien del fundo del corazon.
    Pienso que esta correcto (ortografia, gramatica).

    Aprovecho para desear a tu pequeno "Bienvenido".

    Como se llamara el bebe?

    Saludos

    mas, cuando quiero hablar con Dios, hablo en espanol. Miguel de Cervantes.

    Well.... Spanish is my first language, so I think I could help...
    The poem is fine, but maybe it is a bit confusing (I don't know exactly what you mean, though) It had some little grammar mistakes, but I fixed them. Maybe you could write in English the poem, and I could translate it more exactly...
    You should also ask Husky Mom, or Jackie (I think she's spanish) for their opinions...

    Quisiera decir, aunque no estoy aqui todavía,
    Gracias por los regalos para empezar mi vida
    Y gracias de parte de mis padres, tambien
    Por todos los regalos, que estan muy bien.
    Mi gabinete estaba vacio, mis cosas eran pocas,
    Pero todo eso ha cambiado, por Ustedes, les digo muchisimas gracias!

    Pero, gracias por tu respuesto!

    Canis Amicus, you speak all of those languages?

    cyber-sibes, will do, thanks for the suggestion.

    Here is the English version. We changed it here and there so the words in Spanish would rhyme, but if you want to take a stab at it, have at it.


    I'd like to say, though I'm not here yet
    thank you for the gifts I'll get
    And thank you from my parents, too
    for all the gifts in pink and blue
    My closet was empty, my belongings were few
    but that's all changed now, thanks to you!

    That does sound better, thank you. Is there any way to make the last two lines rhyme?

    LOL
    Lobodeb: it was written by Miguel de Cervantes (in his time there was no politicaly correctness). As for me, my mother tongue is Portuguese (I am Brazilian), but I speak also English (my fave), and since I am living in Switzerland for the last ten years I learned German. French and Italian are also official languages here. Spanish I learned talking with the latinas.

    I use to recite that in multicultural gathering, when people complain about how difficult is to learn German.

    actually the right translation would be:

    quisiera decir, aunque aun no este aqui
    gracias por lods regalos que recibire
    y gracias de parte de mis padres tambien
    for los regalos en rosa y azul
    mi closet estaba vacio, mis pertenencias eran pocas
    pero todo eso ha cambiado, gracias a ti

    but to make it rhyme and sound good it needs a few changes

    quisiera decir, aunque aun no este aquí,
    gracias por los regalos que recibí
    de parte de mis padres también
    por todos los regalos, que estan muy bien
    mi closet estaba vacío, mis pertenencias eran pocas
    por tí eso ha cambiado, y solo puedo decir gracias!

    something like that, but i´ll try make it better (i´m not that good in rhyming )
