English subtitles (fragment)
112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Before you open the bowl,
the clay has to be perfectly centered.
113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Brace your left elbow on your knee
and push in with the heel of your hand.
114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
If the clay wobbles against your palm,
it's not there yet.
115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[STUDENT] How long do I keep pushing?
116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Until it feels like it's standing still,
even though the wheel is spinning.
Spanish translation (same cues)
112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Antes de abrir el cuenco,
el barro tiene que estar bien centrado.
113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Apoya el codo izquierdo en la rodilla
y empuja con la base de la mano.
114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
Si el barro tiembla bajo tu palma,
todavía no está listo.
115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[ALUMNA] ¿Cuánto tiempo sigo empujando?
116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Hasta que parezca quieto,
aunque el torno siga girando.

About this service
When you love a song in Korean, Portuguese or Turkish, or plan to cover it, you want to know what it really says. We write out the sung lyrics from a link to the track in their original language and translate them line by line into yours, timed to the music. Sung words under loud instruments are harder to catch than speech, so tracks with clear vocals give the fullest lyrics.
What is included
- What you getThe lyrics in the original language and a line-by-line translation, as TXT text and as SRT and VTT files timed to the song.
- Line by lineEach sung line next to its meaning
- Timed to the trackSing along or follow the music
- Meaning firstA faithful translation, not a rhymed one
- Choruses written outEvery repeat where it is sung
- Both languagesOriginal lyrics and translation
How it works
- 1LinkYou send the track
- 2LyricsWe write out and translate the lyrics
- 3ListenYou follow the song with its meaning
What we need from you
A link to the track or video that opens without signing in, the language of the song, the language you need, and the artist and song title.
We will ask you:
- What is the song, and who sings it?
- Which language is it sung in?
- Into which language should it be translated?
- What will you use the translation for?

Questions and answers
Will the translation rhyme so I can sing it?
No. It follows the meaning of each line as closely as possible; a singable rhymed version is a separate creative task.
Can I publish the lyrics or the translation?
Lyrics belong to the songwriters and their publishers. Use the text for yourself or for learning, and ask the rights holder before posting it.
Some words differ from the official lyrics. What then?
Words under loud music can be misheard. If you know the official lyrics, point out the lines that differ and we correct them within your revisions.
