Overall Meaning

T.J. Miller's song "Some Spanish Translations Of Popular Words" is a satirical take on the practice of translating English words into Spanish by simply adding an "é" to the end of them. The song takes the form of a mock language lesson, with Miller reciting Spanish translations of English words that are often used in everyday conversation.


The first example given is "tender" which is translated to "suavé". The word "suave" means smooth, soft, or gentle in Spanish, so the translation is fitting when describing something that is tender. The second example, "bubble bath", is translated to "baño de bubbles", which literally means "bath of bubbles". The use of the phrase "baño de bubbles" instead of the more common Spanish phrase "baño de espuma" (foam bath) adds to the humor of the song.


The third and fourth examples, "Krevin Harbutton" and "Ashton Kutchners", are not actually Spanish translations at all, but rather nonsensical words invented by Miller to parody the trend of simply adding an "é" to the end of English words to make them sound Spanish.


Overall, Miller's song cleverly satirizes the practice of simplistically translating English words into Spanish, and highlights the humor that can be found in language and communication.
