Como jefe de seguridad, es mi deber mantenerlos vivos.
As head of security, it is my duty to keep them alive.
— Avatar (2009)
Estamos diciendo esto para mantenerlos vivos, no queremos que sean un objetivo.
We're saying this to keep them alive; we don't want them to be a target.
— El viento que acaricia el prado (2006)
El tiempo lo dirá mientras tanto, debemos mantenerlos unidos.
Time will tell, in the meantime, we must keep them together.
Tenía que mantenerlos a salvo.
I had to keep them safe.
¡Voy a mantenerlos a raya, sólo tiene que ir!
I’ll hold them off; just go!
