Fuzzy Dream Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 8th May 2008, 10:48 AM#1 sandysls28 Could someone explain me how can I say "my sugar is raw" in spanish? 8th May 2008, 10:54 AM#2 Arrius Mi azucar está integral. If the phrase has an idiomatic meaning, I fear I don't know it in either language. 8th May 2008, 10:59 AM#3 Lis48 If you are talking about the Madonna song, the meaning is purely sexual. Candy is a metaphore for sex. 8th May 2008, 11:19 AM#4 Sprachliebhaber Raw sugar es azúcar sin refinar. Sugar se usa como "mi amor" "mi querida". "My sugar is raw" puede significar que mi querida es muy directa/áspera. No creo que "sugar" = "candy" en el sentido sexual que menciona Lis48. 8th May 2008, 5:58 PM#5 Lis48 Read the lyrics of Madonna´s song, Sprachliebhaber, where the phrase comes from. She invites you to dance with her and visit her candy store where you can suck her lollipops and taste her raw sugar, so hot and sticky. I´m not sure how much more sexually explicit you could be. I somehow don´t think a meaning of unrefined sugar quite fits the context! 10th May 2008, 7:59 AM#6 Sprachliebhaber The original question doesn't mention Madonna, only how to translate "my sugar is raw", and the association of sugar and candy only occurs in such contexts. Both ordinarily have more literal meanings. I confess my total ignorance of Madonna's songs, and given the information Lis48 provides, I completely agree about the sexual connotation. (We still have the original question about how to translate the lyrics with this meaning.) http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=949330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
