We do not really know if you (Spanish speaker or English-Spanish translation interpretation enthusiast) have wondered some time about the best way to understand the real meaning of some English or even Spanish songs lyrics.
In our case, it's been so and, we want to create this blog to set a community of people willing to look for a natural real life translation and better interpretation of a song lyrics.
The idea comes from the multiple times we have seen awfully translated lyrics from English to Spanish, making us (people who know how to speak both languages) angry and wanting to do something to change this path.
Now, let's begin showing you (our beloved viewers) and example on how this nightmare can be seen everywhere!!!
It's important to point out that this phenomenon concerns not only the translation itself but also the transcription of English-English lyrics. Haven't you gone YouTube to look for the lyrics of a song just to realize that it was badly transcribed by an 8 year-old boy?
In this post we would like to give you just a hint of how bad this situation is. Please watch (listen) this video and read this lyrics (transcription and translation) carefully:
And here you will see the video with the original audio of an awesome performance of Mumford and Sons:
