Trying to Translate

I'm trying to learn Spanish by watching telenovelas. Please share your comments about the shows, too. I know I'm not the only English-speaking person who's hooked on telenovelas!

Heridas de Amor - Episode 14

Fabricio asked Cesar why he was at the wedding, because he wasn't invited. Their mother protested, "He's your brother!"

While Miranda was unconscious, Alejandro said to her, "Wake up, Miranda. Life is open for you. This is only a trial." She dreamed he was telling her, "Very soon we are going to love."

Bertha came into the room and saw Alejandro kissing Miranda. After Miranda woke up, Bertha told her, "How quickly you found someone to console you."

Miranda said something about Renata, and Bertha sneered, "None of you is a woman for Alejandro." Miranda scoffed, "And you are?" Bertha said, "Yes," and insisted that Alejandro is interested in her. Miranda said Alejandro would never pay attention to Bertha, and Bertha insisted, "He pays attention to me, and so does Gonzalo!"

Pamela told Fernanda that Miranda is OK, it was only a fainting spell. Fernanda said to herself, "I feel so alone, so fragile. Gonzalo's hatred is terrible. But I came to recover all that is mine. Including my daughters."

Florencia told Fernanda that she doesn't want to start Fernanda's new medical treatment after the honeymoon, that she'll go back to her former doctor instead. (I think Bertha told Florencia not to trust Fernanda.)

Miranda told the family she is fine now and that since it's a wedding they should dance. Bertha said to Alejandro, "It's been years since I danced," but Miranda interrupted by asking Alejandro to dance with her. While dancing, Miranda told Alejandro that she wants to die (because of Fabricio's marriage to Florencia).

Meanwhile, Fernanda told Bertha, "Be careful. Alejandro is not Alfredo" (Alfredo was Alejandro's father). Bertha retorted, "He's much better."

Alejandro's stepmother, Daira, said something about Alfredo, and Fernanda introduced Daira to Bertha as Alejandro's wife. Bertha was shocked and said that's impossible because Alfredo is dead. Bertha to herself, "I know what I saw! Only I know what happened. He is dead. I am sure."

She remembered looking at Alfredo's body after Gonzalo shot him and saying, "You killed him, Gonzalo."

Cesar complained to Gonzalo about being fired by Julio, and Gonzalo told him, "On Monday, come to the office." Cesar later cornered Bertha and asked her what she knows about him (ie his financial espionage), but she teased him and refused to answer.

Gonzalo asked Renata about her drug use, and Renata blamed Miranda for telling their father. Gonzalo said the doctor (Fernanda) told him. Renata said, "What a joke! I hate her!" Later she went to Bertha about it and Bertha, I think, spun her a story about what a bad person Fernanda is but said she will take care of everything.

Daira told Fernanda that Alfredo never forgot about her, "There was never a day he didn't think of you," then said, "I want to be your friend. We will get your daughters back."

Fernanda thanked her, then said, "I'm going to tell you something that no one knows," and revealed that Florencia is actually Alfredo's daughter. Alejandro overheard this and said, "Florencia is my sister?"

Fernanda explained that she was in love with Alfredo, but her father and Bertha forced her to marry Gonzalo. When she realized that she was pregnant with Florencia by Alfredo, she didn't dare tell Gonzalo. Little by little she fell in love with Gonzalo but never told him their oldest child wasn't really his because she didn't dare.

Bertha talked angrily to Tomasa (the maid) and said something about Tomasa's granddaughter and Nati (the old woman in the nursing home), but I don't know what that was all about.

Bertha followed this up by being nasty to Pamela, saying something about Pamela's mother and "insanity is hereditary." Pamela told Miranda, "My mother is not crazy," then broke down in tears.

Bertha made a speech congratulating the bride and groom, then maliciously gave the microphone to Miranda, who was forced to also make a speech. She said, "Fabricio and I were engaged from childhood, but realized it was all an illusion of infancy. Fortunately, Fabricio found my sister, and he is the man of her dreams. With all my heart I wish them happiness."

Afterward, Gonzalo told Miranda, "Bertha will pay dearly." Miranda replied, "With her smile and sweet voice, no one could believe she is a demon personified."

Alejandro told Bertha that he knows his father designed her necklace. She said, "His designs are worth thousands, aren't they?" and Alejandro said about her necklace, "It's a shame this is such bad work. It's a bad copy," which Bertha didn't like.

Amparo and Francisco pawned jewelry because the family has no money. Amparo went to church and told a priest that all her life she's been worrying about money. I think he told her she can sell tacos in the church(??) Her nephew, Juan, overheard this and was upset that Amparo is worried, thinking, "It's not fair. She's been a great mother to us."

Gonzalo demanded to know why Rebeca is letting Fernanda stay at her house, calling Rebeca a traitor. Rebeca apologized and mentioned that Fernanda is Cesar's godmother and she's sure Cesar recognizes her.

Florencia begged Gonzalo, "Marry my Aunt Bertha!"
