Song & Lyrics Translator
Song & lyrics translator
Translate any song's lyrics into English, in time with the music.
Upload a song and VidMints transcribes the vocals into time-synced lyrics, then translates them into English line by line so the meaning stays attached to the moment each line is sung. It handles songs in any language — the spoken language is detected for you, so a Korean, Spanish, Hindi or Yoruba track all work the same way. You can keep the original lyrics, swap in the English translation, or show both together for a bilingual lyric video, and every line stays editable. When it looks right, export the lyrics or render a full lyric video with a background of your choice, all in the browser.
Translate a song →What is Song & lyrics translator?
A song translator does something a plain text translator cannot: it keeps the words tied to the music. VidMints starts by listening to the audio you upload and transcribing the vocals into lyrics that each carry their own timestamp. Only then does it translate, working through the song line by line so the English meaning stays anchored to the exact moment each phrase is sung. The result is not a flat block of translated text but a timed, singable transcript.
This matters because a song's emotion lives in its timing. Translate the lyrics in isolation and you lose the sense of when a line lands, whether it falls on a beat or trails into the next phrase. By preserving the original timestamps through translation, VidMints lets you follow along with the track — reading the English right as the vocalist reaches that line — which is how the meaning of a foreign-language song actually clicks for a listener.
The sung language is detected automatically, so a track in Korean, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic or Yoruba all flow through the same steps without you choosing a source language. Every line stays fully editable, and nothing is pulled from a lyrics database — the transcript comes only from the audio you provide. From there you can keep the original, replace it with English, or show both together for a bilingual version.
Why use Song & lyrics translator?
If you have ever loved a song in another language and wished you knew what it meant, a line-by-line, in-time translation is the answer — far more useful than pasting lyrics into a generic translator and getting a wall of text with no sense of pacing. For creators, it unlocks bilingual lyric videos that let a wider audience connect with a track, and for fans and learners it turns a favourite song into something you can genuinely follow and understand as it plays.

Tips for the best results
- Upload the cleanest version of the track you have; clear vocals with less instrumental clutter give a more accurate transcript before translation.
- Review the transcribed lyrics first — fixing any misheard words before translating produces a noticeably better English result.
- Use the bilingual view when your audience is mixed, so both original-language and English speakers get something from the video.
- Split or merge lines where the automatic timing feels rushed, so each translated line has enough time on screen to read.
- Only upload audio you have the right to use, and remember the translation is applied to your own transcript rather than pulled from a database.
