Babel Fish Translation helps you translate any body of text into the language of your choice. Some of information might be lost in translation, but it is still a pretty good (free) service.

I've never had much luck with online translation sites. I do better on my own. Seems like all the online translators don't handle complex verb tenses (i.e. subjunctive, conditional) at all.

Not many sites do the translation, and the ones that do have a very limited number of songs. If you are thinking of a specific vallenato, sometimes you're lucky to find it on the web at all in one language.

You can find the lyrics to Spanish songs all over the internet on all the standard lyrics sites.

But no English translations. Babel FIsh sucks for that purpose, your best bet is to plug through it and use www.wordreference.com if needed.

Senor Piloto, devote your tiempo to learning Espanol, then you can do your own translations!

Shhh ManInred.

Listen Piloto, I can translate any song you want for 5 cents a word. Don't trust those clumsy online translators when you can have a real life, fully bilingual colombiana doing the translating!!!

Any song, any poem, even letters to your colombian girlfriend. Not only will I translate, but for any letter over 500 words, I will throw in my own poetic embellishments (tailored to her region of origin), guaranteed to make her go goo goo gah gah. No more embarrassing bloopers! If you are an old fashioned romantic and paper letters are your thing, I even provide the stationary, sprayed with the fragrance of your choice. My penmanship is supreme.

Just deposit the money to my paypal account and you are guaranteed an accurate, state of the art translation within 1 hour time. If not 1 hr, it's free!!! Just like pizza!!!! You can't lose!!

I also do serenatas.

Want to send your girlfriend a serenata but you are all the way in the States?? worry not. Give me a repertoire of songs, deposit 30 bucks a song into my paypal account and I will have a full emsemble of mariachis outside her window that same night.

Guaranteed.

Actually my spanish-as-a-second-language translation, while inferior in quality, is half the cost, at 2.5 cents a word. And don't worry, I round down. No extras though like serenatas.

That should drive you out of the market Colombiche :)

Yes, but when it comes to impressing a lady do you really want to skimp out on quality? I think not!!!

My translations are so romantic I guarantee no matter what you look like, the girl will fall in love with you. If the relationship doesn't work, you get your money back. That is right. Money back if I don't get that little colombian heart beating in your name.

Don't go for those inferior translations when you can have the best.
