Meaning of Colorin Colorado?
I would love to know. Still trying to figure out my mysterious STBX (soon-to-be-ex) Dominican husband!!!
Congratulations!...
"Color?n Colorado" is the typical end of a children's story:
"Color?n colorado, esta historia esta acabado"
Color?n is a bird (red linnet), or a bright, vivid color
Colorado means 'colored', as in crayons, or a bright red.
Essentially, it is the beginning of a children's phrase that means something is 'over'.. Perhaps like your relation with the STBX....

Is that what he told you to end the relationship?
A good Dominican answer:...No importa, m?s pa'lante vive gente!!!
(It doesn't matter, there are more fish in the sea...loosely translated!)

Bit more linguistic info. Colorin is also used in some SA countries (i.e. Chile) as a colloquialism for "redhead." Whether that is the literal meaning in the original phrase or if its "red linnet" as Hillbilly correctly describes, I don't know.
