This has become one of the most common phrases to hear in Nagua. It literally translates as "the light left" but is used when the power goes out which has just happened about 5 times during my current internet session. My fellow Peace Corps'ers and I have learned to have some fun with this phrase saying it randomly and in different tones of voice. Se fue la luz. Or se fue la luz. I just love to say it. It slides so gracefully off the tongue. Se fue la luz. Commical at times. Well maybe not commical but I have made myself laugh at it. It's also fun to hear the neighborhood when the light arrives at night. Everyone cheers.
Hurry. Post. Before la luz se va.
