1 hr confidence:
| turn around, don't drown retorne, no se ahogue Explanation: That's the only way I can think of to make it rhyme. Most of the time it is translated without the rhyme. "¡De la vuelta, no se ahogue!" or "¡Regrese, no se ahogue!" |

1 hr confidence:
| turn around, don\'t drown Retroceda mientras pueda. No espere que la inundación ceda. Explanation: I like Jonathan's answer, no se ahogue en un vaso de agua, but reading Hardy's last explanation, I thought about that one with a little bit of a rhyme. Another possibility, maybe, could be, Retroceda, no deje que la inundación interceda. Hope it helps, at least to give you some other ideas! |

541 days confidence:
| turn around, don\'t drown ¡Dé la vuelta, no se ahogue! Explanation: Esta frase es una marca registrada de los anuncios de advertencia en zonas inundadas. No sé en qué contexto es tu traducción, pero en mi opinión no hay que buscar rima ni nada gracioso, es una advertencia muy seria e importante. |
