Featured article of the week
Chameleon listed this page as afeatured article candidate, however withdrew it again due to certain critisisms. Since we still have untill sunday before the next translation starts, lets try and get this to featured article status for the rest of this week and resubmit it then.

btw, anyone who hasnt visted Spanish_Translation_of_the_Week there is a nomination and voting form for next weeks article, if you have time, go and have a vote (or nominate something new). The bellman 03:09, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Translating titles
There are a few titles I'm not sure how to translate:
 * El año pasado por agua - I'd conjecture "Last year by the water". Do others agree?
 * This is a tricky title to translate. "Pasado por agua" is the name for soft-boiled eggs, but the title applies to an autum with heavy rains. Maybe "The year that rained cats and dogs"?

Azucarillos is a new one to me; obviously from azucar, "sugar", I'd guess "sweets" or "candies", but I wouldn't guess with confidence.
 * Agua, azucarillos y aguardiente - Agua of course is "Water", and there's not much to do with aguardiente except to explain it as a strong liquor.
 * Yes, "azucarillo" was a sweet made from sugar, eggs and lemon, which was drinked dissolved in water. This could be loosely translated as "sugar cube" - so how about "Water, sugar cubes and spirits"?


 * El dúo de la africana - Well, literally, "The Duo of the African (female)", but I'm sure that someone who knows the piece could explain more felicitiously.
 * Sure, this one is easy. "La Africana" is the opera "L'Africaine" from Meyerbeer, so this one is "The Duet from L'Africaine". Diego Moya 16:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
