Hello, this is my first message! This song is "De espaldas al mundo" of Boikot, I have begun the translation (between the hypens), but I miss some sentences and I'd like you check what I've done. The original lyrics could be wrong but I'm sure you would get the meaning
Bienvenidos a esta Tierra
aquí vendemos Ilusión
_Welcome to this land, here we sell illusion_
dondel Rico es un Hombre
y el Pobre estafador
_Where the rich is a man and the poor is a crook_
Bienvenidos a este Mundo
del fracaso, del Horror
_Welcome to this world of failure and horror_
esportando injusticias
negociamos con dolor
_exporting injustice and treating with suffering_
Desde la carcel al patíbulo!
Despertad despaldalmundo y contemplad
la libertad en una cámara de Gas
_From jail to gallows! Wake up backwards the world and contemplate freedom in a gas-room_
La justicia tiene precio
¿cuanto vale Sr. Juez?
los abogados te defienden
sin dinero en cierrenle
_Justice has a price, how much is it, mr. Judge? The advocates defend you, but without money you're reclused_
ya no hay tiempo eres reo del sistema judicial
_???_
esos cerdos llaman justicia a la pena capital
_Those pigs call capital penalty justice_
Desde la carcel al patíbulo
Despertad despaldalmundo y contemplad
la libertad en una cámara de Gas
_up^_
duradera hipocresia es la imagen exterior
_perdurable hypocrisy is the external image (appearence)_
en su juicio todo vale siempre a colpes de talón
_???_
bombas de odio son lanzadas con total impunidad
su imagen es lavada por un patriota liberal
_bombs of hate are launched with total impunity. The image cleaned is that of a liberal patriot_
Desde la carcel al patíbulo
Despertad despaldalmundo y contemplad
la libertad en una cámara de Gas.
_up^_

Please, help me with translation to english/italian___Boikot-De espaldas al mundo
-
They're just two sentences...
-
Here's one of them, at least I think: ya no hay tiempo eres reo del sistema judicial > There's no time, you're a prisoner of the judicial system. (as far as I know, "ya" just makes the meaning stronger, I don't know if there's an exact word to translate it.) But this sentence seems quite simple compared to the ones you already translated.
esos cerdos llaman justicia a la pena capital- maybe this sentence's meaning is more clear in English as 'those pigs call capital punishment "justice"'
la pena capital- capital punishment, or 'death penalty' I believe.
My Spanish is very poor but I'll look at it again more closely when I get time, if no one else does. Anyway, nice lyrics.
-
Ah ok, I got "pena capital" like amercement but your interpretation is certainly right, mine wasn't reasonable, furthermore in italiano it's pretty much the same (pena capitale), I don't know why it didn't come to me!
"ya no hay tiempo eres reo del sistema judicial > There's no time, you're a prisoner of the judicial system."

I translated this one like you've done, "ya" was the problem!
The other sentence I don't understand is this:
"en su juicio todo vale siempre a colpes de talón"
that should mean "in its judge(opinion) all is always right....(colpes de talon=blow of heel?)
It hasn't sense to me...
Anyway I'm happy you like this song, I also find it really good. Thank you for your help, you always answer to me
Where are you from? How many languages do you know? I read you in each session...!

I think it's a typo and it should be golpe de talón which means tap of the heel and about the first sentence I think you have the answer already but for me that "ya" it means that something it's already done, there's no time (anymore) Originally Posted by OiBOi222

Actually I think yours made sense too...I think it could give the same meaning, just I think "capital punishment" is the more common English expression. Originally Posted by OiBOi222

Io sono di Bosnia (ma adesso vivo negli stati uniti), e tu..di dove sei in Italia?

Ok thank you, but I still miss the sense... Is "tap of the heel" a common saying? what does it mean?
-
Ok but I prefer your interpretation. Originally Posted by partizanka

De nada. Io sono di Bosnia (ma adesso vivo negli stati uniti), e tu..di dove sei in Italia?
Io vivo vicino roma, piacere. -
well to be honest I've never heard that before so I can say it's not common at least in my country
Thou art I and I am thou
