songwriter looking for translations of my lyrics

My name is Neil McSweeney and I'm a songwriter and musician based in Sheffield in the UK.

I write and perform in English and I spend a long time on the lyrics. I believe that the subject matter of the songs is pretty universal and I would like to test this by getting some translations done. I have seen the translation section of the site but they seem to be for getting songs translated into English from other languages.

Anyway, any advice would be gratefully received.

The songs are available to listen to here: http://neilmcsweeney.bandcamp.com/

The lyrics are viewable if you click on the song title.

I'm particualarly interested in starting with the following two songs:

Wonder In The Making (from the album Shoreline, this is a song about my family)

Take it easy now my boy
The bright world is out there waiting
Long moments to enjoy
Is all that we can wish for

But I can’t always be there to pick you up
I won’t always be with you to show you my love
We only get so long but it’ll never stop

Take it easy now my girl
You’re a wonder in the making
This life is but a whirl
A ride that we are taking

Great fortune brought me here so I could pay you on
And sit with you a while as the ride rolls on
We only get so long but it’ll never stop

Take it easy now my love
Our troubles are not hard ones
I’ll kneel down next to you
To tend our little garden

When the time it comes around for us to reap the crop
Look down into the soil and new shoots come up
We only get so long but it’ll never stop


Flowers (from the album Remember To Smile)

Upturned flowers catch the sun
The sky grows dark they droop as one
And hang their heads as if in shame or shyness
Hide their stamen from the rain
But there is one frozen tall
To whom secrets of the heavens will now be revealed
And with enraptured, fearful gaze
Takes in the stars and takes hailstones in the face

Oh my love I need some of that joy
My roots lay rotten in the soil

Oh my love, I am nothing without you
I am nothing without you
I am nothing without you
Though my love the night's been cruel
We'll wait for the sun and we will be warm again

Weathering takes a heavy toll
For every smile a tear must roll
We're all defeated in the end
You might as well count the stars among your friends

And oh my love, I'm with you
Whatever you want to do

but if anyone would like to work on any of the songs I'd be happy to hear from them.
