To talk/speak of the devil
The original form of the proverb was 'talk of the devil and he's sure to appear', which was already used in the 17th century. Today, only the first part of the phrase remains and is used to refer to someone who unexpectedly appears when you have just been talking about him.
La forma original de este proverbio era "habla del diablo y seguro aparece", que ya se usaba en el siglo XVII. Actualmente, sólo la primera parte se usa para referirse a alguien que aparece inesperadamente justo en el momento en que se estaba hablando de él.
