Muchas gracias Rosa :) , no fue fácil. Es es una letra muy poética y también con un juego de palabras.

1. This is what I wrote at the beginning ("los"), but I decided to delete the last letter. I had a problem, because "people" in English is plural and in Spanish you say "la gente". That's singular and that's what confuses me all the time.

I came to the conclusion that as "them" refers to the "people", so I should use a singular form in both cases ("la gente" and "lo"). For me it seemed to be the only correct idea, even though honestly I didn't like it. And mind you, some dictionaries translate "lo" also as "them". That has convinced me that what I wrote was correct.

2. "No me quiten": I agree that plural form is here the preferable one. Sólo una pregunta: Did you mean Subjuntivo or Imperativo, because both forms are the same?

I meant Imperativo, but I wasn't sure whether I should write "no quite" or "no me quite". Intuition told me "me quite", but maestro Google seemed to be telling that the other form was much more often used.

"Desparecida" - a typo, that I copied through the whole translation.

3. I knew the expression "tomar café", It's funny that I didn't realize it applies also to other drinks.

4. Your idea was perfect. I liked it very much and I used it.
Just one question: I would have written " seamos tú y yo los que digan". Would it be wrong?

If you think that it could be "la", then I think I should write it this way, don't you think?
Okay, I've done it. These references are never clear for me, so let's make life harder also for native speakers ;) . In terms of grammar I want to be as correct as possible, though on the other side: why "la" and not "le"? "Laísmo"?

When I started learning Spanish I had no idea that things that are very simple in many languages are so complicated in Castellano. Examples from these lyrics: "the people" - singular form (why?), and another problem: "la", "le" and "lo".

In English it's absolutely clear what was said: "him" or "her". In correct Castellano it's always "le" and you have to guess from the context who was meant. Sometimes it's impossible and only the one who says that knows what he means.

I read about "laísmo", when I was translating "Un ramito de violetas" and I like this idea, because it makes sense and, in my opinion, it should be introduced as a general rule.

BTW, I've just added a comment to this translation.

Saying "maestro Google" I didn't mean the famous translator, that some of our users like very much, but I checked the number of sites where these expressions were used, but it can also be as misleading as GT itself.

"Digamos" versus "digan": I decided to leave it the way you suggested, just to memorize that I can use it both ways.

And now something funny: When I was in UK the man that I lived with always used to say: "Oh, it's five o'clock, so it's tea time". He used to go to the kitchen and was always coming back with a cup of... coffee.

But, well, he was from Poland, though he came to England back in 1942. He married an English girl and his accent was 200% British, so no one would have thought that he was not an Englishman. We used to talk in English only. His wife died because of cerebral hemorrhage and he lived alone. Sadly, now he has already joined her somewhere in the heavens...

Rosa ¡que lástima! :O

Ya te dije que sabía que no respondí a algunos tus comentarios. Revisé un poco y encontré esta traducción. Me siento avergonzado, pero eso fue cuando viajé a España. Cuando volví tenía tan mucho notificaciones que se me pasó por alto.

He corregido todo lo que sugeriste. Gracias una vez más.

Y también te deseo un feliz y próspero Año Nuevo. :)
