Tu hai capito bene il senso della frase, mentre tutti gli altri pensano al "mattino" soltanto. Grazie Giorgio2fast

Hi guilon,
Does "mañana" in Spanish mean "morning" or "tomorrow"?
I thought it meant "tomorrow," and I think saldorsi is complaining to giorgio2fast above, that everyone has misunderstood the phrase to mean
"from morning to morning"
when it really means
"day after day"?
Literally, it seems to be like Shakespeare's
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day...

Sorry to bother you!

Ian: The expression means: Little by little the piranha eats you.

I guess that "De mañana en mañana" is more likely to be "Day after day", it also makes more sense.
and yes,...mañana means both: morning and tomorrow in Spanish.

Hello Ian, I have been away for a week, but I think Lilian answered your question properly.

Welcome back, and thanks for your reply!
Yes, I think we have gotten it sorted out now!
I was just surprised how many validated translations had "from morning to morning," and not "day after day"... Oh well, I guess it isn't a very big problem!
