Since it's a jpeg I can't copy and paste to a translator, anyone care to translate por favor?

EnsenadaDr - 1-29-2013 at 04:58 PM

It says, "Who are you to judge the life that I lead? I'm not perfect, and not living to be so, but before you begin to point your finger at me (literal translation, signal me), be sure your hands are clean (be sure to have your hands clean, literal translation.)"

Thanks Doc! Like the old adage, people in glass houses ought not to throw stones!

Don't worry about a thing ..................

Every little thing is gonna be alright.

As Marley mused:

"Facts an' facts, an' t'ings an t'ings: dem's all a lotta fockin' bullchit.

Hear me! Dere is no truth but de one truth, an' that is the truth of Jah Rastafari." — Bob Marley

Sounds more like him.

Don't know if he said it in Spanish.

Didn't know he spoke it.

Didn't know Bob spoke Spanish, mon?

Off topic.

The Latino Marley is Illusive

MrBillM - 1-29-2013 at 08:07 PM

I've looked for Marley Spanish quotes.

So far, without luck.

Bob Marley Speaks ?

MrBillM - 1-30-2013 at 10:12 AM

Only to the Doc ?

At seances ?

EnsenadaDr - 1-30-2013 at 10:16 AM

This is a legitimate phrase that was translated into Spanish and used by my fellow students at the University in Ensenada.

Or as he put it in his lyrics...

The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you

Could you be loved? (chorus)

Just as pertinent in Spanish to me!!

EnsenadaDr - 1-30-2013 at 10:29 AM

Wow, I didn't know that was in that song, yes I remember the chorus, "Could you be loved, could you be loo-ved!

I take good advice wherever I find it. One time an old borachero in Culiacan told me "Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Then you can do as you will because he'll be a mile away and you'll have his shoes."

You're a gem Osprey!

So ?

MrBillM - 1-30-2013 at 10:59 AM

He wasn't a Spanish-Speaker after all, but it was actually someone else's Interpretation of his words ?

Guess I'll quit looking for otra Marleyisms en espanol.

Except in Somoa where the king lived in a grass hut and collected thrones as his hobby. After he had stowed so many thrones that his hut collapsed the villagers all chanted "kings that live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones"

Ah jesus, and to think I got sucked into reading the entire thread. Time for a siesta.

Leo - 1-31-2013 at 07:59 PM

I think that is very funny, Bob! About the King of Samoa.

EnsenadaDr - 1-31-2013 at 08:01 PM

Hey Bob, isn't Debbie in Jamaica right about now?

Islandbuilder - 1-31-2013 at 11:45 PM

A related thought, from a more religious perspective:
We tend to be appaled by those who sin differently than we do.
I guess this can be secularized by saying "fail in different ways than we do"

LOL,thats a good one
