    No need to understand what he says, by the way.

    I'll add translations to the post in a while.

    EDIT: Translation, brought to you by translator-in-progress, Machazo!

    Text from 0:54 to 0:58 says "Carlos, the baker"

    He says he got the store from his father, and has worked there for over 50 years. He was born in Argentina in 1944, and starting helping his dad by taking the clients' orders, when he was "a small kid" (7 or 8 years old, I guess?) and started owning the shop when his father died. It has been the only job he has had during his life (1:36-2:17)

    "This is a family business, passed from father to son for generations. It has always been a successful business. (He uses the term "family business" in the sense that even his wife works with him, although children are never mentioned)" (3:14-4:00)

    He's now speaking about the different types of ovens.The old ones seem to give the bread a better taste, it seems, while modern ones are "More industrial", meaning, more bread is made but the taste is not as good. (5:13-5:30)

    "I've already reached an old age, so I'll have to stop some day and... do something else. This job needs effort and sacrifice, and it may not make you a millionaire, but it lets you live..." (7:50-8:20)

    I see stuff like this a lot on Calle Ocho.

    I didn't catch where he was from. What country?

    Ah. I expected this since you're Argentinian ^^

    There isn't that much to translate.
