Singing English songs that have been poorly translated is such a let down. I often wonder whether it is possible to translate a song lyric without missing both the artistic value as well as its semantic value and still matched it with the melody.
In one song I sang last week, "I sing for joy at the work of your hand" is translated "kubersuka atas perbuatanmu" I think it should be "Kubersuka atas karya (atau ciptaan). Kubersuka atas perbuatanmu sound like what a parent will say to a child had done something good.
