Polish term

rozgadać się

Polish to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Skrypt rekrutacyjnego filmu instruktażowego:

"No… Jak zwykle się rozgadałem. Mój kolega wzywa mnie na linię produkcyjną."

Myślałem o:

"we're going to have to cut the chit-chat here" - trochę prostacko i gangstersko

"I'm talking too much again" - trochę brzmi jakby facet przypadkiem zdradził sekrety firmy

Jakieś idee?

I like your "cut the chit chat" best.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. May 29, 2019:
As usual, here I go, flapping my gums/prattling like a chatterbox/blabbering like a motormouth on steroids.
Vieslav Vieslavovich (asker) May 28, 2019:
"be long-winded" brzmi sensownie, spasiba
