Subject: RE: Origins: Venga Jaleo origin & refrain/translation
Hi, Q - all the printed sources I found have the tilde, so their word is "sueño." I had left it out because tildes don't work in the Digital Tradition - but now I've added them since you say there are two similar words, with and without the tilde. the slur I spoke of was "una_ametralladora" - indicated by the underscore.
I think "I dream of a girl with a machine gun" makes more sense - what would be correct wording for that?
