What are the english translations exactly for Kay Serah (dont know if thats spelled right) - is it "whatever will be will be"- like the song?

And the translation for Say La Vie (not sure about spelling)

If you know the correct spelling alos for both that would be great.

What do you say when you don't hear someone properly?

Hmmm?
Say what?
Pardon?
Come again? (that one always makes me laugh!)
Excuse me?
Huh?
Could you repeat that?

Or something else?

Ok, this is what I'm trying to say:
Thank you for coming and sharing your wonderful flute playing and motivational words with us. I enjoyed the energy and passion in your performances.

This is how I wrote it, but I'm not sure all my my Spanish is correct:
Gracias por venir y compartir su interpretación marvillosa de la flauta y sus palabras que motivan con nosotros. Gocé de la energía y pasión en sus interpretaciones.

How does it look?

I just read it from a language blog:

But what if you have specific goals in academia or business? Well, then the waters are muddied by several factors.

First of all, most Brazilian Portuguese teachers will gloss over a lot of grammar simply because it is not used in Brazil (see previous posts No Second Person and A Gente). Additionally there are many literary grammatical forms that one is more likely to recognize with a European Portuguese background. Also important is the tendency for Brazilian Portuguese speakers to consider European Portuguese somehow 'more correct' than their own language. This interesting social and psychological phenomenon makes stronger the case for European Portuguese for business travelers. Much like the false authority that a British accent invokes, European Portuguese speakers emanate an air of education and linguistic prowess.




I don't get what the blogger mean. Can someone explain that further? Should I learn European Portuguese or Brazilian Portugues

I had to look up 'feisty' in my English/German Dictionary (2002), it wasn't in my OED ( 1985).
We used to 'copy' or 'reproduce', now we 'replicate'. (A tone one or more octaves above or below a given tone; folded back upon itself; to make a replica - OED).
According to OED 'iconic' applies 'memorial statues and busts of a fixed type'.
When some one ask me how long it takes to get to work, I don't say, 'the commute is 15 minutes.'

I got this shirt on a street market in Osaka whilst on vacation. Please someone help me translate what it means! The guy who sold it tried to explain it was a joke, like a play on words, but I need more than that.
