| | "Los premios se empolvan, los amigos no" | Explanation:
What we are being asked for here is a "saying" and translating those is sometimes as hard as translating poetry.
This is the "saying" I would give as a close equivalent to what Owens wanted to say: "Los premios se empolvan, los amigos no" I hope it helps. |
