Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / 2 Timothy 3:15 records: | | Spanish term or phrase: bombachas de gaucho | Tengo que traducir éste texto: "Le dicen “Marcelo Ugly”; en realidad, su apellido no es “Ugly” sino algo parecido, pero lo llaman “Ugly” porque quiere decir feo en inglés y porque, justamente, lindo no es. Se viste mal: su estilo es entre hippie y desaliñado (usa bombachas de gaucho y remeras con estampas indígenas). Además escucha música bajonera como folklore o tangos. Cuando me lo imagino en un recital de Horacio Guaraní, borracho, babeándose y cantando, me quiero pegar un tiro."
Mi traducción es ésta:
"They call him `Marcellus Feo´ actually his last name is not `Feo´ but something similar. But people call him like this because it means `ugly´ in Spanish and because he is not precisely nice-looking. He dresses badly – his way of dressing is like hippie and untidy - he wears baggy trousers and t-shirts with indigenous stamps on it. He also listens to dismal music, like Argentinean folklore or tango. Every time I think of him in a concert of Horacio Guaraní, completely drunk, dribbling himself and singing, I really want to kill myself.”
Quisiera saber si está acorde al texto solicitado o deberíarevisar alguna parte.
Muchas gracias |

| Reference: bombachas de gauchos
Reference information:
I would suggest: "gaucho pants", because it has to do with the Argentinean culture and this guy seems to be somehow connected with it (music, Horacio Guaraní etc.)
