Translyrics- aka: Translated lyrics (duh). Its a much more painstaking process than people think it to be. What does it entail? Well, its not a simple translation of the lyrics from a song. It requires careful study of the meaning of the song. Its an adaption. You must capture the main idea of the original song and bring it to another language. Some think that's easy. Google Translate! No. That's not how it works. To make a good English (or any other language) adaption, the words need to flow and need to math the syllables and beats of the original.
How easy does it sound now? Probably not too easy. You have to get pretty creative. Which, personally is the fun part! Even though its an adaption, the adapter has the opportunity to put their own twist on the song. Its a very satisfying feeling to finish a song and see the results.
Where are my translyrics? I currently have one song finished and am almost done with another set of lyrics. I plan to start recording one of them this week and hope for it to be on up YouTube within the following weeks. The other song is one that is very dear to me. Its not exactly new, but its meaning and message speaks to me. I plan to put a lot into this cover and make it the best I can. I have original stems (individual instrument tracks) for this song so I will be able to get it mixed and mastered. Can't wait for the turnout!
