English term

"I'm Strong to the Finich"

English to Spanish Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Popeye's song
It's the verse of the song that Popeye used to sing in his cartoon. In fact, I am translating a medical document that highlights the properties of spinach, and it quotes this phrase, but I can't find its translation.

Discussion

InterpreterALE Dec 30, 2008:
In the lyrics of Popeye he said "finich" to make it rhyme with "spinach", it's a wordplay used by Popeye. He means "finish" though.
Gilberto Diaz Castro Dec 30, 2008:
Debe ser "Finish" no "Finich"...
