Professional Spanish to Italian Lyric Adaptation for Classical Composition

We are seeking a highly skilled and culturally sensitive linguist to adapt a set of Spanish-language lyrics for a classical musical composition into singable Italian. The core requirement is to preserve the original melody's integrity, meaning the rhyme scheme and meter must be maintained precisely. This is not a literal translation project; rather, it demands a faithful adaptation where the imagery, cultural references, historical context, and subtext of the Spanish original are authentically rendered into Italian, ensuring the new lyrics resonate naturally with an Italian audience without losing the spirit of the source material. The successful freelancer will deliver a polished Italian lyric sheet, meticulously crafted to match the original line count, stresses, and rhymes, making it immediately singable over the existing musical score. Additionally, a brief commentary (a few lines per section) will be required, explaining the approach taken for cultural adaptations, idioms, and specific wording choices. The ultimate goal is a lyric sheet that a vocalist can perform in tempo without any need for further rewriting.
