Traducción al inglés de refranes en español
Can you help me with these idioms??

Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente: Out of sight, out of mind.
Donde hubo fuego, quedan cenizas: When there was fire, ash-gray isWhere there's smoke there's fire
El primer amor nunca se olvida: One never forgets the ones first love
Un clavo saca a otro clavo: One hand washes the other.
Segundas partes nunca fueron buenas: Sequels are never good as the original
Hablando se entiende la gente: People understand each other (one another) by talking things over (NB, 'bien nota' this is not really and idiomatic expression, nor do I recall a fitting one. Also, the noun phrase "things over" is ambiguous and probably bound to be a pile of "chorradas," in other words, it could "make matters worse".
Dos piensan mejor que uno: Two heads are better than one -- especially when bumping them together! "bumping heads together" is to come up with a solution or idea, sometimes it's to "knock some sense" into two "knuckleheads".Un saludo.

I think I'd say, "Where there was fire, ashes remain."  (I don't know if we have a saying like this in English, but writing it this way sounds nice and poetic to me.)


For "El primer amor nunca se olvida"...  another option is to use "you" (which we often do in an impersonal way, meaning "one", "someone", "any person").   "You never forget your first love."  Or you could say, "One never forgets their first love."


The other translations all look fine to me.
