Summary of La Heredera\n\nThe father of Maria Claudia, Don Julian, is the most influential industrialist of the Mexican political scope. Lauro, her older brother, incarnates the ambition, greed and resentment, which he uses like arms on his way to the political and economic power. Lorena, her sister, is a talented and beautiful woman and at the same time suffering from culpability and addiction. Octavio, her another brother, is the minor of the family. Don Julian is on the verge of dying and Maria Claudia (who studies in the USA), returns urgently to Mexico; but on her way she gets in an accident and doesn't arrive. In the middle of her misfortunes, she meets Antonio (ex-soldier of the Gulf War), and they fall in love. Don Julian survives and the experience of being so close to death will unite more than ever the love of the father and his family. Maria Claudia and Antonio are meant for each other and try to build their happiness; but everything is destroyed with the appearance of Aranza, the woman who years back offered to Antonio something more than just a fleeting love.\n\nHOPE IT IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

It's latin.\n\nIt's about the metal vessel of ancient design with the legend ITI SAPIS POTANDA TINONE on it. \n\nThere aren't many hits if googled, but some of them come up with the alternative ITI SAPIS POTANDA BIGONE, which a) doesn't look Latin enough, b) seems more of a giveaway in any case.

He didn't. It was a nickname. It means filius Bonacci, son of Bonacci. Like we would say Johnson or Robinson. Or in Iceland they would say Robertsdottir for Robert's daughter.\n\nHe never used the name himself. He was known as Leonardo of Pisa, or Latinising it, Leonardo Pisano. He sometimes referred to himself as Leonardo Bigollo as in Tuscany Bigollo means a traveller.

I don't mean to be a smart ass or anything of the sort, at all, but most of the answers were not completely correct (except from el emigrante).\nHere is the correct translation :)\n\nBaila la calle de noche,     -     The street dances at night\nbaila la calle de dia     -     The street dances in the day\nComo se llama?     -     How/what is it called? or What is your name?\nBonita.     -     Pretty/cute/beautiful\nMi casa, su casa     -     My home/house, your home/house\n\nSome words are translated differently depending on context, I put slashes on those.\nMost answered "dance in the street" or "it dances in the street". The sentence clearly says that it is the street that dances (I guess it is a bit of a metaphor).\nTranslating engines will not catch that.

"Lamento" is a reference to the sound of a kind of bolivian music. Like when you say "soul" or "blues" in english. Playing some "blues" has nothing to do with painting a wall in blue colour. In fact is quite a blue music (sorrowful I think should be the correct translation).
