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 5

Evil Aunt Bertha told Miranda that Florencia is going to die. Miranda slapped Bertha and accused her of lying, saying she won't believe it until she sees Florencia's grave.

Bertha told Renata not to tell Florencia that she is dying so she can be happy in her final days. Then Bertha secretly put new pills into Florencia's medicine bottle. (I think she is poisoning Florencia.) Bertha said to herself, "Now I have a new reason to fight: Alejandro Luque." From the expression on her face, it appears she is in love with Alejandro!

Miranda told Florencia that she will help plan Florencia's wedding to Fabricio. Florencia sobbed and thanked her, and said she will cancel the wedding if Miranda wishes. Miranda said, "For your happiness and Fabricio's, I am capable of this and more."

Fabricio talked to Alejandro about Miranda and Florencia. Alejandro stated, "Love is for romantics, not for men like me."

Nuria -- the dark-haired secretary in Gonzalo's and Cesar's office, who was raped by Cesar in a previous episode -- told Cesar tearfully that she loves him and they could be happy if they were married. Cesar refused and she told him it is "far too late" for that. Cesar told her, "Soon Miranda will be my wife. She is a true woman. Not like you."

Pamela (Miranda's friend) was stunned to learn that Fernanda is Miranda's mother.

Pamela was happy that Alejandro asked her out for coffee, but he only wanted to question her about Miranda. Pamela refused to answer his questions but gave him her business card. Alejandro said to himself that eventually Pamela will tell him everything he needs to know about Miranda.

Miranda told her father that she still loves Fabricio and wants to run away with him. She begged Gonzalo to help her, but he said, "Let him marry your sister." He told her not to tell Florencia she is dying. When Fabricio arrived, Gonzalo exploded, telling him, "You are going to pay with blood!" for hurting Miranda.

Miranda told Gonzalo, "Fabricio is not to blame. It is Aunt Bertha's fault. It was her plan to separate us. She manipulated Florencia." Fabricio said no, that's not true, he loves Florencia.

Gonzalo sent Miranda out of the room, then told Fabricio, "I could kill you!" Fabricio said, "No, godfather, you're not capable of that," but Gonzalo replied, "It would not be the first time" (ie the first time he killed someone).

He informed Fabricio that Florencia is dying and ordered him to marry her immediately, then said, "You are also killing Miranda, and for this, I swear, you will pay. After Florencia dies, I swear I will kill you."

Bertha went to the doctor and arranged to have a face lift and breast implants.

Miranda told Fabricio she loves him, that her arms will always be open for him, no matter what happens between him and Florencia, "What matters is my great love for you." Fab. told her she's crazy and walked away.
