Paste the lyrics of a song and pick a language. The lyrics translator gives you two versions side by side: a faithful translation that follows the original line by line and keeps the meaning, and a singable version that stays close to the original rhythm, syllable count and rhymes so it can be sung over the same melody. You also get short notes on idioms, slang and wordplay that do not carry over directly. No lyric sheet? Upload the song instead, and the translator writes down the words as they are sung, shows you that transcript and translates it in the same step.
You can try it free. New accounts get 6 free credits for 7 days. Translating lyrics you paste costs 1 credit, and translating an uploaded song costs 3 credits, so you can try it before paying anything. After that you buy credits as you need them, with no subscription required.
Sign in, paste the lyrics into the box (at least 20 characters, up to 8,000), choose the language to translate into and press Translate Lyrics. The original language is detected automatically, or you can set it yourself. In a few moments you get both versions and the notes, each version with its own copy button. If you only have the recording, switch to Upload a song, add the audio file (up to 80MB) and press Translate Song. You get the lyrics as heard along with both versions.
A word for word translation rarely fits the melody, because lines come out longer or shorter and the rhymes disappear. The singable version is written to be sung: each line aims for about the same number of syllables and the same stresses as the original, and it keeps rhymes where it can. To make that work, some lines loosen the literal meaning while keeping the feeling and the story, so compare it with the faithful version.
The faithful version follows your lyrics line by line, one translated line for each original line, in the same order, so you can read the two side by side and know exactly what each line says. Use it to understand a song, to make subtitles or to check what the singable version changed.

You can translate between any two of them.
Transcribe Lyrics from Audio takes a song file and gives you its lyrics as text, in the language they are sung in. Translate Lyrics gives you lyrics in another language: paste them as text for 1 credit, or upload the song for 3 credits and it writes down the words and translates them in one step, showing you the original lyrics too. If you only need the words in their original language, use the transcriber.
Translating a song to understand it or to practice singing it is fine, but releasing, selling or publicly performing a translated version of a song you did not write may need permission from its songwriters or publisher, because a translation is a new version of their work. If the song is yours, you can use the translation however you like. This is general information, not legal advice.
The AI knows song lyrics, slang and common idioms, and the notes point out the spots where something had to change. Still, have a native speaker read a translation before you print, record or release it, especially the singable version, where some meaning is traded for rhythm.
