tener sangre fría

English translation of tener sangre fría

have cold blood.

'Tener sangre fría' in Spanish is what we call 'having cold blood' in English, which does not mean literally having one's blood temperature lowered. It is a slang for being calm and composed, especially in stressful or demanding situations. This phrase is often used to describe someone who is able to keep a 'cool head' or control their feelings and emotions under pressure.
