From LyricWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Songs in languages other than English should be provided in its original language and script. An English translation is helpful, but not required. If the song was actually released in more than one language, the different releases should be on separate pages. For more information see Help:Multiple Languages. User generated translations should NOT be placed on a separate page.


 

Please submit original translations only!

Translations

To make reading lyrics easier, the translation should be side-by-side with the original

{{Translation|German}}
==German==
<lyric>
Du
Du hasst
Du hasst mich
</lyric>
||
==English translation==
<lyric>
You
You hate
You hate me
</lyric>
|}
produces:
  

German

Du
Du hasst
Du hasst mich

English translation

You
You hate
You hate me

Non-Latin Based Scripts

If the language that the song is written in uses a script not related to roman or latin characters, a romanization should be provided to allow the song to be read by people who do not know that script. In this case, the original lyrics should be listed first, and the translation should match the romanized version of the song. As an example:

Kanji

世界が逆に周り始めてる
加速度ばかりが増してる
気が付いた時は足元暗くて
崖っ淵に立っていただなんて
  

Romanized Japanese

sekai ga gyaku ni mawarihajemete'ru
kasokudo bakari ga mashite'ru
ki ga tsuita toki wa ashimoto kurakute
gakeppuchi ni tatte ita da nante

English Translation

My world starts spinning the wrong way
It's speed only increases
and by the time I realize, my standing is gloomy
I'm standing on the edge of the cliff

Additional Information

Categories
