lyrics
Hello all.
This is from the lyrics to a song "a song of liberation for women". I don't know if "días de rojo" is a set phrase, but I've never heard it before. Has anybody else? If not, I'll just translate it literally.
Ella es,
Rebeldía y alegría,
Con la montaña rusa,
Y con DIAS DE ROJO
Y sin el brillo de sus ojos,
Ya no podria vivir
Thanks much in advance.

red days/days in red
Es de Luz Casal, no?
yo creo que se refiere a la menstruación (por lo de la montaña rusa - cambios de humor, bla bla) Yo lo traduciría tal cual porque no es una forma usual en castellano tampoco.

Comment: "Thanks, Patricia. I guess I just wanted someone to tell me to translate it literally. I went with "days of red". Not pretty, I know, but it should keep me out of trouble!"

holidays? red-letter days?
I really don't know if this is what it refers to in your context, but I have heard of "días de rojo" as the days marked in red on the calendar here--Sundays and public holidays.

So maybe it's a looser interpretation--red-letter days?
On the other hand...maybe it means to contrast euphoria (=montaña rusa) with rage, perhaps? ("seeing red")? or maybe that's a stretch... :-D
Anyway, some ideas for you, at least.

| Thanks, Cindy. Good idea. This occurred to me, too, but decided to go with a literal translation, as I didn't have a lot to go on! |
Something went wrong...
