Cerco la traduzione di alcuni testi, fra cui Starway to heaven dei Led 
Zeppelin la canzone fa cosě:
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
 and she's buying a stairway to heaven
 When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
 with a word she can get what she came for
 and she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
 In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
 Sometimes all of her thoughts are misgiven
 it makes me wonder   ___ it really makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
 and my spirit is crying for leaving
 In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
 and the voices of those who stand looking
 And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
 then the piper will lead us to reason
 And the new day will dawn for those who stand long
 and the forest will echo with laughter
 If theres a bustle in your hedgerow dont be alarmed now
 it's just a spring clean for the May queen
 Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
 there's still time to change the road you're on
 Your head is humming and it wont go in case you dont know
 the piper's calling you to join him
 Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know
 your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
 Our shadows taller than our soul
 There walks the lady we all know
 Who shines white light and wants to know
 how everything still turns to gold
 And if you listen very hard
 the time will come to you at last
 When all are one and one is all
 To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 E' solo un saltello(?) per la regina di maggio (?)
Spring clean = pulizia di primavera
May queen = reginetta di maggio (una volta veniva eletta la May Queen
tra le ragazze del villaggio)
Altrimenti, mi sembra un'ottima traduzione.

"I killed the Greek piper god", Tom deadpanned.

 si riferisce al proverbio "He who pays the piper calls the tune"
Perche' "He who"?

 Colui che... mi sembra corretto no?
Bah, si forse, ma perche' non "Chi paga..." ;)

Perché non sarebbe inglese dire "Who pays the piper...".
Si dice sempre "he who" (antiquato, ma usato nei proverbi, per esempio)
o "the person who".

 E il mio spirito urla per essere libero (per andarsene)
Domanda: non potrebbe essere "Il mio spirito piange perché me ne sto andando
(per il fatto che me ne vado, 'for leaving')" ?

How about "Who he?" :-))))) Because it sounds better? 
He or she who knows aint telling.
