Basic Spanish Translation?

Question

If you have an extra 5 minutes and speak Spanish, I am in desperate need of a brief summary of what the songs "Ecos" and "Esclavitud" (found here: http://www.myspace.com/desiervasrock ) mean. It would be a tremendous help.
Thank you!

BabelFish doesn't work for me... I don't have a copy of the lyrics and I don't know Spanish well enough to write them out by ear.

Also (sorry if I wasn't clear), I need to know the meaning of the actual song content, not just the definition of the song titles.
Sorry, guys... it's early here. lol

Answer 1

Ok, I'm gonna try at this, because I like puzzles of this type. This is going to be hard, because it´s always hard to figure out the lyrics to a rock song. That would be tough even without the language barrier.

First, I'll give the Spanish lyrics, as I understood them. Then, I'll give my English translation. Where you see question marks (??), that means that I could not make out the word that the singer was singing.

Note: My first language is English. Spanish is a second language for me. I don't promise that all of this is correct. Your mileage may vary.

Esclavitud (Spanish):
No permitas tanto ?? en lo mortal
Y dale tiempo a la piel para matar
Me siento así
Te siento así
Desentierrame, no no no
Y obligame fallar, no despertar
Somos ?? ??
Esclavitud
Somos ?? ??
Esclavitud

Y dale tiempo al suelo
Dale vida a lo mortal
Me siento así
Te siento así
Desentierrame, no no no
Y obligame fallar, no despertar
Somos ??
Esclavitud

Esclavitud (English):
Don't allow so much ?? in that which is deadly
And allow time for the flesh to kill
I feel this way
You feel this way
Disinter me [i.e. dig me up], no, no, no,
And require me to fail, not to wake up
We are ??
Slavery
We are ??
Slavery

And allow time for the earth [to?]
Give life to the deadly
I feel this way
You feel this way
Disinter me, no, no, no
And require me to fail, not to wake up
We are ?? ??
Slavery

Ecos (Spanish):
No equivocaré al viento
No lo confundiré
Como un sueño y sé que hay bien para enterrar
Equivocaré las frases de tu voz
Y culparé a la muerte al atardecer
Imaginando ver

No equivocaré a la sombra
No la confundiré con un cuerpo
Sé que encontraré culpables, sonrieme
Y no fueron los días, no,
Fueron solo espejos
Y no fueron las voces
Fueron solo ecos
Y no fueron tus manos
Sonrieme, sonrieme
Sonrieme, no

Ecos (English):
I will not mistake the wind
I will not confuse it
With a dream, and I know that there is good to be buried
I will mistake the phrases of your voice
And I will blame death at the sunset
Imagining that I see

I will not mistake the shadow
I will not confuse it with a body
I know that I will find the guilty. Smile for me.
And those were not the days, no
Those were only mirrors
And those were not the voices
They were only echoes
And those were not your hands
Smile for me, Smile for me
Smile for me, no

Answer 2

Depending on the context of the word, "ecos"can mean something similar to the english word "echoes"; or it can mean:

e·co

m.
(sonido) echo
music, poetry, poetic echo, repetition of a syllable or word
figurative (noticia) news
ecos de sociedad society news
echo, reflection
el problema actual es un eco de los del pasado
the present problem is an echo of those of the past
(acogida) response, reception

"Esclavitud" can mean something like "slavery" or "bondage"

es·cla·vi·tud

f.
(servidumbre) slavery, servitude
figurative (dominación) slavery, domination

Answer 3

I think the best was is to consult a professional translation agency for the Spanish language. I have been dealing with an agency who did a certified Spanish translation for me, its name is Elite TransLingo.

Answer 4

Yo soy activo y amable. Mis amigos son perezosos y graciosos. Me gusta dormir y ver la tele. Juego fútbol y tenis. Cuando era niño, me encantaba trepar a los árboles pero odiaba a correr en compentencias. En el último fin de semana, yo fui al cento comercial con mis amigos. Llevo los denims y una camisa allí y llevo unos pantalones cortos y una camiseta cuando juego al fútbol. ¿Cómo eres (es Usted)? ¿Cuál es tu comida favorita? Me gustaría pedir sopa de ajo, ensalada mezclada, bistec con cebollas, agua, y flan. Debes hacer ejercicio cada día y comer comida saludable. No debes comer la comida salada o grasa. Debes jugar un deporte. No debes ver la televisión.
