Translating songs is quite difficult. I'm listening to Juice Leskinen, one of the greatest songwriters in the history of the Finnish language, and just for the heck of it, I translated one of his songs to English (well, more like modified an earlier translation that I wasn't quite happy with). I aimed for accuracy rather than a form that matches the melody well, but even then it was difficult, since I had to play with the word order. Finnish has a bit more liberal word order in poetic language than English. >.<
