    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!

    I made a few changes, maybe if it is better now......

    Quisiera decir, aunque no esté aqui todavía,
    Gracias por los regalos que recibiré
    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, gracias a ustedes!

    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.

    Barbara: para los gatos digo apena: Miau, miau, y ara los perros: Au, Au.

    Con latidos e miados,

    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 )

    Los perros dicen guau, y los gatos dicen miau. Las ovejas dicen beee, y las vacas dicen muuu.... (Sorry, I'm just being silly... )
