Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Here's another translation. I've tried to bring out some of the nuances and double-meanings that are difficult to render into English.

In this three-verse song, the author tries to reassure his girl as she struggles in their relationship. He begins by telling her to think of him the next time she hears the distant rumbling of the waves crashing on the beach. He tells her not to worry about it if she hears the waves say that she has only brought him pain. She is feeling insecure about her ability to make him happy, and he reassures her that he accepts the pain that is inherent in relationships, "Don't worry, I'm still here through all of that." In the next verse, he tells her that the ocean, even with all its powerful currents and waves, does not understand the current (or flow) of time. Time, like the ebb ad flow of the tide, draws us closer just as it pushes us apart. He reassures her that this is how it is supposed to be as he toasts the high tides and the lows. But above all, he toasts the "difference" between the highs and the lows. He is saying that there is beauty in this range of experience, and knowing the difference between the good and the bad times allows us to appreciate the good. "I'm yours through this cycle of ups and downs." He tells her to let the boat sink that has kept her safe and dry up here above the ocean current. There is something in her past behavior (her habits or traditions) that is holding her back, and he asks her to leave this behind. "Let yourself go and don't be afraid," he tells her. She is tied up emotionally in her conclusion that all men are bastards, and she is afraid to take the plunge into this dynamic current with its inherent disappointments and pain. "Fill up your glass again, and let's drink to us! That's what I'm here for."

Think about me the next time you Hear the rumbling murmur of the waves. And if they tell you that you’ve only Brought me pain, don’t worry about it. That’s what I’m here for.

The sea doesn't understand time’s current, Which draws us closer and pushes us apart. Here’s to high tides and to the lows, But especially to the difference! That’s what I’m here for.

Let the boat sink. Part with your ways. Let yourself go and don’t be afraid. Men are bastards, but maybe not all of them. Fill up your glass and here’s to us! That’s what I’m here for.

I'm not sure if I translated this well as I only have a highschool-French education, but here's what I could get from it into English:

think of me the next time you hear the rumour of the waves and if they say to you that you made me evil I do not i'm here for that

the sea did not know the wire of time which brings us closer and separates us life the maree high and sharp the low one but especially lives the difference I am here for that

lets run to the boat forget your manners let yourself go and don't have fear the guys are bastards but perhaps it all fills your glass and our loves i'm here for that

just a few slight corrections from someone with a bit more fluency:

think of me the next time you hear the waves' gossip and if they tell you that you only did me harm don't get upset that's what I'm there for (or literally, "I'm there for that")

the sea doesn't know the thread (in the sense of something long and directional) of time which brings us together and separates us long live the high tide and long live the low but especially long live the difference that's why i'm there

leave the boat running forget your morals let yourself go and don't be afraid guys are bastards but maybe not all fill your glass and (drink) to our loves i'm there for that
