Spanish term or phrase: a puro sol
"Sopla suave el viento y se hinchan las velas de una embarcación que, a puro sol, vuelve a navegar el lago"

By the way, if you want check my version ;) "Gently blows the wind and it swells the sails of a vessel that **(a puro sol)*** navigates the lake (once) again"

Gracias Adriana. Creo que esta frase es la que más se asemeja a "a puro sol", que es diferente de "a pleno sol".

sun blasting out


Explanation:
en principio habia pensado, como thais, que "under the sun" es lo que mas se acerca. De todas maneras, tambien pienso que no transmite suficientemente bien la expresion "a puro sol". Por este motivo me he decidido a experimentar y he anadido "sun blasting out". No es el termino que tu necesitas, ya que no goza del tono poetico que se\precisa aqui. Aun asi, lo propongo a ver si te da a ti o a los demas companer@s alguna idea.
salusos y suerte
