Instructions
Step 1
Take the lyrics in a foreign language. You can find it on the Internet and save it to your desktop in a text document. However, it will be much more convenient to work with it if you print this text. Read it and divide it into verses and choruses. Since the chorus will be repeated, you only need to translate it once.
Step 2
Now play the song you want to translate the lyrics to. First of all, you should like this song and evoke pleasant emotions. When your desire to know what the song is about gets even stronger, take a pencil and a dictionary. Immediately find a translation of the words you heard for the first time. Sign them in the text.
Step 3
Once you've translated the most difficult words, decide for yourself if you want to translate word by word to understand each phrase. Perhaps the general meaning has already become clear to you from the context and you just have to think a little about the meaning of the whole phrase. If not, start translating, again, with the most incomprehensible words. Think creatively. The Russian language allows you to make truly uniquely beautiful translations. Use metaphors, synonyms, comparisons.
Step 4
Show your translation to a friend who knows the foreign language well. Discuss your mistakes with him. Also, you may be lucky and you can test yourself by finding the translation of the song you are interested in on one of the sites dedicated to lyrics and translation of songs.
