I don't understand what you mean

Maybe "its back"?

maybe

btw, this sentence should remain incomplete,
at least, in Spanish is much like "When in Rome..."

because the rest of the sentence is ussualy too rude, and you would just omit it

exactly,
well, the complete sentence is
"Si la vida te da la espalda, agarrale el culo."
it would not make sense with lemons : )

How would you render "agarrale" in this context?

marcelostockle marcelostockle May 5, 2012 May 5, 2012 at 3:10:16 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

my typo: agárrale
agárrale -> "grab its"

Thanks, Marcelo.

@Nero:
what if we simply tag it "literal translation" ?
