My world collapsed and left me this way; you made it... Explanation: collased or came crashing down are both reasonable options. I think "voce conseguiu" means "you made it" or "you became successful" because then she goes on and says "I never asked for any help from you or from anyone..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-02 03:59:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Mary, based on your explanation, it seems she is blaming her husband for her condition - so I think "you did it" is good, and also I like your earlier suggestion"you won." Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-02 04:25:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For conseguiu, you could also try "touché" or "you succeeded." |
