How to say "Mind the gap" in Spanish?
I saw a warm advertisement lasting as long as seven minutes.
It's like a kind of short film with a very touching song. I want to learn how to say the following phrase and sentences from the ad in Spanish:
(I would recommend it to you before you post an answer here.
A Memory to Remember )
(1) Mind the gap.
(2) A memory to remember
(3) Travelers we are, in this journey of memory.
Aboard together we might, and get off at different times.
Still memory lingers.
By the way, I would like to know if Sentence (3) is grammatically correct, including its punctuation? Or, is it acceptable for advertising writing?

Alternative suggestion for the travelling. Travellers we are, on this journey of memory.
Somos viajeros por la ruta de memoría.
With the gap, I go with Gringo ¡ Cuidado con la brecha!
Pon atención en la brecha. Mind the gap.
Un recuerdo para siempre. Not a literal translation but...
Somos viajeros en este viaje de memorías. Travelers we are, in this journey of memories.
Sorry I don't have time for them all but how about ... "Cuidado con el agujero/hueco" for mind the gap.
1 Cuidado del hueco.
2 Vale la pena recordarlo. Un recuerdo que vale la pena guardar
3 Somos viajeros en este viaje de memorías (I totally agree with gringo on this one).
Sentence 3 (in English) is correct and the comma is used to indicate that a pause is needed between the 2 phrases. It is poetic therefore a certain freedom of punctuation is allowed for saying it. One could also say "Travelers are we, in this journey of memory." The word memory is used as a collective noun to include many memories. The phrase "Aboard together we might" is very poetic and in normal speech one would say "We may get aboard together.... But again poetry allows also freedom of word usage. I did not translate that part but I think you might try it and post it here later.
Thanks! But I am looking forward to a complete answer from you. Just take your time. - joygogo
