The sun is setting, the dolphins are dancing their own dances.

El sol está poniéndose, los delfines están bailando sus propias danzas.

I'd suggest "al sol", to avoid the potential confusion with "en el sol" = "inside the sun". - lazarus1907, Jun 14, 2011
Great suggestion. I will change it. Thank you! - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 14, 2011

Happy to help!! :-) Thanks. - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 14, 2011
donde does not require an accent since it is not a questional word! - UnaPalabra, Jun 15, 2011

The stars are not wanted now, put out every one;

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

For nothing now can ever come to any good. -- W.H. Auden

Ahora no se quiere las estrellas, apagalas todas;

Empacar la luna y desmantelar el sol;

Desagua el océano y barre el bosque.

Porque ahora nada va a hacer el bien.

She sometimes says to me „you are my Sun“, but not very often.

A veces me dice "eres mi Sol", pero no muy a menudo.

An analemma is a curve you can make if you take a picture of the sun at the same time every day for one year.

Un analema es una curva que se puede hacer si toma una foto del sol a la misma hora cada día durante un año.

The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass.

Great example - 0043ad50, Jun 15, 2011
Yeah, great example; too bad she didn't come up with it. From http://www.solarviews.com/eng/sun.htm: "The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass." - 002067fe, Jun 16, 2011
And here's the translation, from SD's automatic translator: "El sol es la característica más prominente en nuestro sistema solar.Es el objeto más grande y contiene aproximadamente 98 % de la masa total del sistema solar." - 002067fe, Jun 16, 2011

Yo no le simpatizo al sol. Cada vez que el sol me ve la piel, esta se me pone rojo oscuro.

The sun does not like me. Every time the sun sees my skin, my skin becomes dark red. (Ouch)

Tom, question - No me gusta el sol = I don't like the sun...I wanted to say - the sun doesn't like me....is it the same?? - 001a2987, Jun 14, 2011
God, I feel like a moron. I read the English version and I still wrote that. It's "Yo no le gusto al sol" or "Yo no le simpatizo al sol". Sorry, Chris! - 002067fe, Jun 14, 2011
No hay problema Tom, y muchas gracias!! - 001a2987, Jun 15, 2011
