around the bush
Y corren las gotas por las ramas frías.
And the drops run down the cold branches.
— El espejo (1975)
Don't beat around the bush.
He likes to go off on tangents.
A él le gusta irse por las ramas.
He likes to beat around the bush.
Don't beat around the bush.
I got straight to the point.
Don't beat around the bush.
