Portuguese term or phrase:
Veja-se
English translation:
Picture yourself
Portuguese term
Veja-se
The slogan is: "Veja-se na Rádio". I'm trying to decide between two options, and I'd like a second opinion:
1) "See you on the Radio"
2) "See yourself on the Radio"
If you have another suggestion, feel free to add it...

"See You" On The Radio
'See you', is more open and less specific as to who, where and what is being advertised.
E.g. See you later, see you there, see you tomorrow...'see you on the radio'. It's warmer and friendlier - sounds better to my ears.
'See yourself', is the specific, literal translation and that's why it sounds odd and not quite right. Will the advertiser actually BE THERE, visible on the radio - no, I think not - it doesn't make sense to me, although technically it is right.
Well, just expressing what I like the sound of actually, but I hope it helps...:)
