español term

cortársele a uno el rollo (slang)

español al inglés Arte/Literatura Modismos / Máximas / Dichos
Hi everyone,

This is colloquial Castilian Spanish:

"Oye, tío, me mola esa pibita. Quiero estar con ella. Pero si mira a otro pibe, pues nada, que se me corta el rollo. La quiero sólo para mí."

How would you translate "cortársele a uno el rollo" into English?

Thank you in advance.

I stop short

En el contexto es que se le corta el rollo o le tira para atrás, yo lo interpreto como que la deja de mirar, y por tanto "he stops short". Es una sugerencia. Saludos.

agree James A. Walsh : I'm with you on this one Edward, sounds the most natural to me (for UK anyway) - "... But if she looks at another guy, well then, that's it for me..." Good call :) / I'd even be tempted to say "..well then, that's it for me - I'm off!"

Thank you James - I thought about adding "I'm out of here", but that sounds more US English to me! ;-)
