Spanish term or phrase: quedarse con la sangre en el ojo
frase idiomática
lidis
to be filled with rage, to fly into a rage (or, simply, to be furious)
Explanation:
The idiomatic expression "quedarse con la sangre en el ojo" just means to be furious, angry, mad, raving, etc.
There is no metaphoric equivalent in English (at least, not that I know of) for that expression, so I would say: "to be filled with rage" or "to fly into a rage".

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I agree with you that there's no equivalent for this expression. I've tried to look it up in all the dictionaries at hand, with no luck.
I don't trust Simon too much, though..I prefer Larrouse, or Collins eng-spanish
Thanks again.
