I Love Lucy - Ricky translates for Lucy

[LadyBowie1119]

What was Carlos's boat trip story that Lucy didn't want to hear?

[iBurnedaHouse]

1:46 desi messed up his line XD lol

[lilbeachgrl123]

what does ricky say when he is supposed to be saying her hair is natural? thanks :)

[FortheHorde1546]

@lilbeachgrl123 "The color of her hair is the same as the hair color in Cuba, you understand? The only thing is that she preserves her hair, in that way, with a "Henna" rinse"...... XD I laughed out loud!

[ravenel2]

That yelling was brilliant -- it's what most Americans do with people who don't speak English, actually. I love how he messed up and started laughing.

[lilsisasu]

@ravenel2 Yeah. They do that or they speak slowly.

[LindsayMonroe88]

yeah right Ricky! why the heck is she yelling? xD

[Casper61378]

Hair rinse! Haha

[gorillafagv2345678]

there will never be another show like this.

[evannati]

lol she knew how to say wine

or at least i think thats what she said... thats what its called in italian.

[fsayestaran]

ricky ricardo smirk at 3:16 is absolutely hilarious!! priceless scene

[Thinker669]

Ricky told his friends that Lucy died her hair red.

[kyuubei]

oh god, watching this makes cringe. It reminds me of translating for my husband and my mother.

[LaPrincesaDeDios15]

so if lucy's hair is natrually red does that mean she has red pubic hairs too??

[timeisthekiller]

Cubans always speak from thy heart :)

[MyFeedbackID]

grassy-ass

[saritsiribud]

This is like the funniest sit-com ever made !!!

[THEmotownboy]

@ 3:26

Ricky: "Ella lo conserva de esa manera con una "Henna Rinse"

Lucy: "I have a feeling that my hair suffered in the translation"

[fandude41]

@THEmotownboy and Lucy was right. English: She keeps it that way with a Hair Rinse (Color/Dye)

[hlnl56]

I love how Lucy speaks loudly to them. They hear her, all right, they just don't understand her. haha!

[jazzynorms]

haha classic. Typical lucille!

[efaith90]

"l'chaim"?  haha!

[wiccanlove1]

'My hair suffered in the translation.' Hahahahaaha!!!

[Xwithxthexlightsxout]

What does Lucy say at 1:00 when she makes a toast? I've never heard that word before.

[Mushiczka]

@Xwithxthexlightsxout "La chaim" - it's a hebrew toast, that means "to life"

[music4me9613]

That's the CUTEST THING!!!!!! <3

[marrakinz]

L'CHIAM!!! Lucille Ball is amazing!

[LovinxoxoLife]

This is how TV should be! This type of comedy! Where they keep the bloopers in the show without re-shooting the scene! :) I wish I Love Lucy went on forever! :( <333

[LovinxoxoLife]

Honestly! That mistake was really cute! :P :D <333

[rickyfan3956]

What episode was this one?

[ak91182]

Isn't Carlos also the French server who teaches both Lucy and Ethel "La plume est sur la table..." ?? Very talented actors these guys!

[rafaelsot01]

Hahahaha el drinko??? Hahahahaha... I love this woman! xD

[GoOnZzyY]

Que dulces por Dios !!! How sweet my Gosh !!!

[BestFlushedAwayfan]

what did the guy say before Lucy said "Nevermind, I know spanish better than I thought" ? What did that mean?

[rickyfan3956]

@BestFlushedAwayfan He was talking about how the waves got bigger and bigger on their boat trip and how he and his wife got sicker and sicker. He used the word "mareado" which means "dizzy/seasick".

[ScarletxCrimson]

Henna rinse is a natural way to turn ones hair red.

[Jsusfrk20]

So wish they had a blooper reel like that, that was a beauty! :D

[eocarcharia]

@Jsusfrk20 They didn't need a blooper reel - they kept all the mistakes in the show! It was one of the things that Desi insisted on, to make the people watching it on TV feel like they were watching it live along with the studio audience.

Look out for the one where Lucy and Ricky try to break their lease, and both get the giggles during one of their confrontations between Fred and Ethel. :D

[PokieAndMoss]

Eh... L'chyiam! lol

[HPLuverfan4ever]

was ricky supposed to make that mistake where he spoke english when he was supposed to speak Spanish?

[misswings83]

Henna rinse ROFL This is so hilarious! Love them ♥

[lilacapricot]

wasnt that the guy who teaches french to lucy

[jeffrey2177]

YES I THINK SO=)

[0missmannequin0]

Anyone know the song Ricky sang toward the end of this episode? The part before Lucy comes out and messes up?

[Mushiczka]

You mean "Similau" ?

[paperkranes42]

That is, until the last comment, when Ricky becomes more coy and casual.

I like how Ricky serves the ladies first, I need to make that habit!

[paperkranes42]

@mushiczka

2:49 Carlos: Ricky, what luck you've had, to find such a beautiful wife!

Ricky: Thank you, thank you.

Maria: It's true, she's very beautiful, and what hair!

Carlos: I have never seen this color in Cuba.

Ricky: No, no, it's true.

Maria: Is it her natural hair color?

3:23 Ricky: Well, her hair color is the same as you would find in Cuba, you understand? The only thing is, she maintains it with a-- henna rinse.

Note: They speak very politely to and of one another.

[paperkranes42]

@mushiczka

1:20 Ricky: Lucy wants me to tell you that she's happy to meet friends of mine from Cuba after so many years of marriage.

1:28 Carlos and Maria: Ah, thank you very much.

2:00 Ricky: My wife would like to know if you had a good voyage-- or if you got seasick?

2:04 Ah. . . the first day-- magnificent. The second day-- the waters got a little rough.

The third ['third' he says in English for some reason] day-- the waves became big, big, big. Maria and I summarily became seasick, like--

[sicagimon]

@paperkranes42 what she said (lucy to maria) when ella dice "es su color natural?"

[italianman1992]

haha when Desi messes up his line. Good that they don't try to break character and act as if nothing happened. Back in the day when they rarely did re-takes and shot straight through without stopping. (well they did take breaks in between acts/scenes) EL DRINKO!

[gabsylv]

I think the flubb was not scripted, but planned

[artemkamajesty]

i love it)))

[sara1964fox]

at 1:48 was ricky suppose 2 say english instead of spanish or did desi mess that line up?

[FerraTiKarynaNeil]

Actually, he did mess that up. But the way he handled the mistake and recovered quickly from it makes it seem like it was scripted. He really was a professional.

[mm6974]

he messed it up!

[princessani7]

yes he did. But he made it look like it was "scripted" he covered it very well

[HQ710]

At 3:24 - 3:28 Ricky says " The color of her hair is the same color as Cuba understand, It's just she conserves it that way like a henna rinse"

What ever that means

[Mushiczka]

can you please give me just transcription of this sentences in spanish?

[paperkranes42]

@mushiczka 0:33 Carlos: We are enchanted to meet your wife. Maria: Yes, really! ['chico' literally meaning boy used for emphasis] 0:38 Ricky: Thank you very much, thank you. 0:48 Ricky: A little wine, Maria? Carlos, would you like a little wine? 0:55 Carlos: Yes, thank you. Well, then-- to your health! Maria: Good health! Ricky: To beautiful Cuba! 1:08 Carlos: This wine is just right. Ricky: Pretty good, huh? Maria: The wine's really good.

[nodeue]

@Mushiczka "el color de pelo de ella es el mismo que el color del pelo en Cuba, ¿tú comprendes? luego que ella se lo conserva de esa manera con una henna rinse"

[Mushiczka]

@nodeue gracias :o)

[aRaNd0mFr1End]

he means that her her is really brown but she makes it red with henna rinse.

if your wondering henna rinse is the old version of red hair dye.

[Cher298262]

what's "henna rinse"

[rickyfan3956]

@HQ710 It might be that he was making a political statement, as Cuba was starting to lean a bit communist at that that time. communist=red. Understand?

[HQ710]

It doesn't take three days on a boat to Cuba to New York. Right?

[Mushiczka]

it depends on the boat :o)

[Jsd8675]

20 Miles an hour times 72 = 1440 Miles. Sounds right.

[XSemeleX]

I have an idea my hair suffered in the translation ;+)

[proloveantihate]

Desi is too adorable when he cracks up! I love how, even though he knows the cameras are still filming him, he tries to hide the fact that he's breaking character by laughing silently (rather than laughing aloud) and turning his head away from the cameras. He was such a consummate professional, always wanting to remain in character no matter what.

[illnsp08]

Lucy and Desi were very cute in this episode

[4EverDarling]

El drinko! lol
