Hello to all the good speakers of English,
Iam a fan of the band Smashing Pumpkins, and they have a very special album called: Mellon collie and the infinite sadness. What does mellon collie mean here?
I would really appreciate your translation in spanish.Thanks.

Mellon Collie is a play on the hominym melancholy which means sad.

 

[scotu]

Es juego de palabras: melancholy (sadness) = melancolía (triste)
