Help needed with translation on Spanish PJ board!

strummers

Hi all, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to translate some text on a Spanish PJ board???

The reason I'm asking is I've got a few photos up on Flickr (being a photographer who'd love to turn pro) and I've noticed since last year a number of hits on a couple of photos from a Spanish PJ site. So curiosity got the better of me and I had a look - turns out someon's put a link to my shots on there with some comments - which is fine. However, on having a go at translating the comments I have a pretty good feeling they are less than complimentary! :roll:

So I'd love to know exactly what's being said (even though it may well feed my inner insecurities). The quotes are:

"Creo que está claro quien es la autora de las fotos"
"Jajaja que buenas las fotos Es que la tía petarda no paraba!! Al final me hice fuerte e incluso fui caballero y le ofrecí un vaso de agua."

So hit me with it people!!!

I believe there are websites out there that translate for you. Just google spanish to english, copy and paste the comments and you should be all set. I remember using similar websites for spanish class in HS when I had to write a paragraph in Spanish.

Cheers guys, I've tried that - which gave me the idea it was less than complimentary - but there are a couple of words they don't seem to translate!

I've only had 2 years of Spanish in school waaaaay back, but I'll give it a try:

I think it's clear who is the author (literally, should probably translate to creator or something) of these photos.

Yeahyeahyeah great photos. Anyways, the hot chick didn't stop (by?). At the end I felt strong and was even a gentleman and offered her a glass of water.

I hope that makes sense (to me it doesn't ).

Haha - cheers man. If it honestly means 'hot chick' I'd give myself up for scientific research right now!!

I have a feeling it's something a little less flattering!

Well to be honest, "tía" apparently can mean anything from "chick" to "bitch", so you be the judge...

Well I suppose I was literally very hot - we were on the barrier at a GA PJ gig!

No matter what I am, I know I'm definitely not a bitch!

Honestly can't think of anything I could have done to annoy them - unless turning up at some ungodly time in the morning to queue, talking to a few people in said queue during the following hours (although not too much - I get pretty anxious and quiet before a PJ gig!!), sitting on the floor at the barrier once we got in and then rocking out and loving every minute once the guys hit the stage could have annoyed them in some way!?!?!

It was the words tia and petarda I couldn't quite get a handle on!

Yup, those 2 seem to be the pivotal ones here... Well, sorry I couldn't help you out any better, maybe one of the native Spanish speakers here will have a more exact translation.

Ah no bother - thanks for giving it a go!

Cheers Paul - don't think I've ever been over there!!

Think they are trying to say you didn't stop taking photos.

Tia means like girl/women in this context and petarda means boring.

Pertarda can also mean like firecracker.

Tia means Aunt

Hmm, becomes stranger - cos I couldn't get any decent shots I gave up taking pictures pretty early on! I rarely get past a few songs taking photos at any PJ gig - especially when I'm on the barrier. Just checked and I took a massive 63 photos (on burst mode too!).

Boring eh?? I can live with that

They must have been really bored with the gig if their attention was focused on such a boring person then!
