| El que se fue a Sevilla, perdió su silla Move your feet, lose your seat Explanation: * El que se va a la villa pierde su silla. o Translation: He who leaves the manor loses his seat. o Interpretations: + Don't change horses in the middle of a stream. + Leaving a sure thing for a gamble is folly. o Variants: + Quien/El que fue a Sevilla perdió su silla + El que se va pa Sevilla pierde su silla + El que fué a Melipilla perdió su silla + El que fué a Melilla perdió su silla + El que fué a Melillón perdió su sillón + El que fué a Matilla perdió su silla + El que fué a Quellón perdió su sillón + El que fué a la villa perdió su silla + El que se va a Barranquilla pierde su silla + El que va para Quito pierde su barquito # Interpretation: He who went to [insert city of choice here that rhymes], lost his seat. This is not actually a proverb. Usually uttered to someone you have taken a seat from (obviously), it can be equated to "Move your feet, lose your seat." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Spanish_proverbs |
