Quote:And indeed we find that ola (the first three letters) is the Spanish word for wave, which fits quite well with the saline sea of the first verse. Meanwhile, dabas is the Spanish word for you gave, from where we understand you gave wave, fair enough for a free city on the sea. But now look closer at that d in the middle of oladabas
Don't you understand the most basic rules of grammar? Dabas is the imperfect indicative, it refers to a past action that has been interrupted. The closest English translation would be you had given and the verb refers to the action of passing, giving or producing. IE I thought that you were giving me the ball (Creí que me dabas la pelota).
What on earth do you think you gave wave means? It's nonsensical in any language.
You'd be better off saying that it means Cauldron of beans (Ol[l]a d[e]'[f]abas - Ola d abas) which at least makes more sense
