Hi Everybody, I am translating a song into Spanish, and it says "But you can fake your way to the top round and around". Any ideas how I could say this?
CONTEXT
JAMES EARLY
Thirteen years of solid gold platters
Rising cost and cocktail chatter
Fat deejays, stereophonic sound
The game of hits goes 'round and around
But you can fake your way to the top
CURTIS
'Round and around,
Try that part baby
This song is in the movie Dreamgirls, and you can find the lyrics here: http://www.dooballoh.com/cgi-bin/display.cgi?id=37671.
Thank you in advance :)
