translation

Hello everybody!

Can anyone help me to translate this phrase, please?

"having the time of your life"

I have translated it as: "pasándotelo muy bien" or "es tu momento"

Thanks a lot!

Well, try comparing ABBA lyrics:

-----------
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Abba Reina Danzante (Dancing Queen - in Spanish) Lyrics:

A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya

they translate to "a gozar la vida" or more appropriately "gozando la vida".

When I translate blocks of text, I use Google Translator. It is free, easily accesible, and handles technical text like medical or legal terminology very well. Usually I have to correct very little after the translation to English or Spanish, and the spanish is (for the most part) free of the regional variations that riddle the other translators.

I wouldn't rely on the Spanish translation of Dancing queen if I were you.

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya
..

"Pasándotelo muy bien" seems fine and is wholly natural.
