Bottle caps: What are they saying?
By Wh1chWitch★☥
In this guide I will show you what the direct translation for each cap is, however, keep in mind that these won't be literal because otherwise they wouldn't make any sense at all and that most curse words will be censored because of Steam. Before we start, let me clarify what kind of Spanish is used in the game:

The Spanish spoken in Resident Evil 4 consists in a mix between Medieval Castilian, Castilian and Spanish, hence why sometimes you hear the curse word "Cabrón" which is mainly used in Central American regions. Also note that there are some mistakes in the pronunciation, for example: "Puedes correr pero no puedes te escondir" is grammatically wrong, the correct way would be "Puedes correr pero no te puedes esconder".

Their chants are basically 'muere, muere, muere', which translates to 'perish, perish, perish'. As for what they whisper it's either 'Lord Sadler' or 'cogedlo' which translates to 'grab him/ get him'. And yes, the Spanish in this game sounds either too Mexican or too Spanish, sort of a fake Spanish if you will.

Hey! I've been wondering what they've been chanting and whispering - and also wether it was fake Spanish or not. Thanks a bunch for sharing and teaching! :UmbrellaLogo:

"No hablo espanol" is the limit of my coherent spanish. As such, thanks for translating these. I had been under the impressions since the first time I played RE4 on the gamecube that he chanting of "cogedlo, cogedlo, cogedlo, cogedlo..." was a name, "Cornello". Now it makes more sense than trying to figure out who Conrello is [but now my theory of what the bag monster is is once more unsolved].

I'm pretty sure that Leon with the handgun is yelling "Ada!".

You got it pretty much covered, you see, there isn't a correct way to convert Spanish words to English, so we'd use what's equivalent.

What does the Don Diego Ganado say at the beginning when Leon shows the pic of Ashley? I got out of it " What are you doing here?! Fuck off Asshole!" Then Leon says " sorry I to bother you!". That around what he says? I know a bit of Spanish but not fluent.

Interesting.. ¡Muy bien! (..Sorry to say I think that's the only Spanish I can remember from secondary school lol)

Anyway, thanks for sharing, I like these informational guides, they're fun to read :tgrin:

I don't know what you'd make of this related YouTube video where this guy's had a go at translating the sayings of the Ganados also..
