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 19

Pamela was upset because her mother might spend the rest of her life in the hospital (due to mental illness).

Alejandro told Bertha she is beautiful, intelligent, entertaining, and passionate. Bertha told him that his mother, Sofia, and Fernanda (Bertha's sister) were school friends when they both fell in love with Alfredo.

I think she said Fernanda took Alfredo away from Sofia. She said "Gonzalo and Alfredo always fell for Fernanda's tears" and "Fernanda was responsible for the tragedy" (ie Gonzalo shooting Alfredo).

Bertha mentioned that Daira introduced herself at Florencia's wedding as Alejandro's wife, but "it can't be true. I saw that he was dead." (ie after Gonzalo shot him.)

Alejandro, now suspicious of Fernanda, went home and repeated all this to Daira, saying, "Can you think how my mother felt when my father fell in love with her friend?"

Daira told him not to believe a woman like Bertha, adding, "Forget revenge. Get Miranda's attention. You two can be happy." Alejandro said if he takes up with Miranda, it will be to get revenge on her father, but Daira said to herself, "No, Alejandro. Your destiny is to love."

Gonzalo told Fernanda that he always loved her. "This was my idea of happiness: you, me, and our daughters." Fernanda got upset and left.

Miranda told Bertha to get rid of the dog because Florencia is allergic to animals. Bertha amused herself by siccing the dog on Miranda.

Juan told his family that he's upset because Renata accused him of being a thief. His brother Joel said, "Surely this rich girl has the body of an angel and the soul of a demon," and Juan laughed. They both yelled at their brother Raul for joining the gang and stealing.

Lisana (Alejandro's sister) remembered Raul stealing her purse and thought, "What pretty eyes" he had.

Fernanda asked Juan to work with her in the asylum, and Juan agreed.

Cesar told Julio's sons, Daniel and Angel, that he will get information for them so they can charge Gonzalo with fraud. Angel said, "You're right. We'll put Gonzalo in his place."

Gonzalo told Miranda that he heard what happened with Bertha and the dog, and Miranda replied, "Having this animal in the house is dangerous. I refer to the dog." Gonzalo laughed.

Gonzalo wondered why all this was happening, "Florencia's illness, Fabricio breaking up with you, now the crisis in the business." Miranda said, "Maybe we've done things wrong in the past and are paying now." Gonzalo replied, "Me, yes. I've done many things wrong. Today I pay the consequences."

He asked if Miranda is interested in Alejandro, and she said, "If my life is not at Fabricio's side, it's with no one," and Alejandro's kiss "meant nothing to me. A man like Alejandro can't help me at all." She asked, "Tell me, is the crisis in the business critical?" Gonzalo assured her, "In a few days, everything will be normal."

Alejandro called an assistant and ordered that all his money be moved to the Bahamas. He then asked for information about the biggest, most expensive house in Tabasco (probably Gonzalo's house?) After hanging up, he said to himself, "I can't love you, Miranda. It will ruin all my plans. I can't stop."

Renata and Lisania came to the church to visit Lisania's uncle, the priest, and saw Juan and his family selling tacos outside. Renata sneered at Juan, "Look who's here, the accomplice of the thieves."

Cesar caught his mother having a romantic moment with Julio and called them old and ridiculous. After Julio left, Cesar remembered Fernanda's real identity, saying to his mother, "Dr. Fernandez is my godmother, Fernanda, right?"

Miranda visited the office. Gonzalo, worried about the business, told her to leave, but Miranda said, "I am not moving from your side." Alejandro arrived and told them Gonzalo is being charged with committing fraud for millions. Then some men came in and apparently said Gonzalo is under arrest.
