Cannot recommend enough Juan Mascaró's version. It's without commentary of his own, poetical, and it doesn't show any predisposition to any denomination. Rabindranath Tagore praised the translation as well, and no wonder - Juan spent around 20 years translating the Gita and the Upanishads. Give it a listen, see if it's yours. The Gita is translated in the same way. I'll upload the audiobook on YouTube some time soon.

It's translated by Juan Mascaro; publisher is Penguin; copyright 1962. http://www.amazon.com/The-Bhagavad-Gita-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449183/

The Mascaro translation is considered one of the best ones because besides being intimately familiar with the text, he's also quite a good writer himself (meaning he can preserve or at least carry over a lot of the poetic qualities of the text). At least that's my understanding.
