Hello shadowrider,

 This Spanish language message is somehwhat oddly and poorly written!
I will explain the meaning, but it can't be translated word for word.
It is apparent, as the comment below shows, that online translators
are virtually worthless!


"We're going to speak Spanish all day today, because it is May fifth,
so I hope you enjoy yourself as well. Ok, well, I have to go now, so
we will talk later. Yak, yak, yak."


Note: "yag, yag, yag" is some new kind of slang, probably for yak,
yak, yak, or similar to our "yada, yada, yada" I've *never* seen that
before in Spanish.

Also note that Cinco de Mayo, May fifth, is a minor holiday in Mexico,
made famous by  restaurants and bars in the US. It is scarcly
celebrated in Mexico, and is NOT the Mexican Independence Day, but a
day when Mexico defeated the French in Puebla, Mexico. Mexico's actual
Indepencdence Day is September 16.

Hope this helps!

Con mucho gusto,
crabcakes
