Change the Lyrics Language

xfluffybunniesx — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 09:04:47 GMT

Hi, so I have an account and I am based in Japan.

The "show lyrics" in the Spotify is a great thing, however, when I listen to K-Pop songs, the lyrics are changed to Japanese (with it being the way of pronunciation), instead of Korean, and I would like Korean to be shown instead.

Is there a way to change this to Korean?

Sadly, there isn't a way for this to be updated on our end. Lyrics are provided by the artists through a third party. Spotify doesn't control this feature.

It'd be great if Spotify could add a 'preferred language' feature for the lyrics. This would also help English speakers to understand the lyrics of foreign songs. Being able to understand the song is just as important as being able to sing along. Have a great day, ya'll!

Alex, So I re-iterate all of the above. And I am willing to start completely over and get Spanish spotify.

All of my Mexican friends have the spanish song lyrics. So I know they exist. And I really want it to learn.

How can I cancel my account and ensure that when I re-download it is in Spanish (I live in Mexico)

Thank you Alex.

Hi @billy3000,

Thanks for getting in touch about this.

Keep in mind that the songs' lyrics are displayed in their original language. If your friends are seeing the lyrics in a different language, it's possible that they're part of some testing, as the lyrics feature is still being tested. In this case, some users might see something on the app that other users don't, or get a brand-new feature for only a temporary period.

Additionally, we can't guarantee that you'll have that option available, if you create a new account, and it's not possible to activate that feature on our end. However, it looks like other people would like to have this feature as well. It's well worth giving this idea a vote to show your support. The higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for it to be implemented.

If you have any questions, just let us know.

As the lyrics are provided by Musixmatch and they also provide the translations of the lyrics, it would be cool to have the option to select translation if desired as well as subscripted or side by side for example.

Because Spotify does not make money from lyrics and therefor does not care

why can't you just integrate a translation wrapper over the lyrics, I mean its an AI era translation options are available everywhere, its not a big deal!

I hide behind a smile, but my eyes give me away
You walk right past, and I’ve got nothing to say
I know I’m awkward, I mess it up
But your name’s still written in my every thought

Tell me, do you ever feel the same?
Or am I just the fool in this game?
말도 안 되는 꿈일까 (Is this just a dream too far?)
But I can’t help who you are to me

Oh girl, love me, love me, love me
Even if it’s hard to see me
내 맘 들리니? (Can you hear my heart?)
It’s beating just for you, completely
Love me, love me, love me
Even if I’m not somebody
널 위한 노래야 (This song is for you)
Please… just love me

I see the way you shine, you're made of light
While I’m stuck in shadows, lost in the night
But every second near you feels like home
And I’m tired of pretending I'm alone

I’ve been practicing the words to say
But they all run away when you look my way
나 바보 같아도 괜찮아 (Even if I’m a fool, it’s okay)
If there’s a chance you’ll stay

Oh girl, love me, love me, love me
Even if it’s not so easy
내 맘 다 줄게 (I'll give you all my heart)
Just say you see me
Love me, love me, love me
Even if I’m nobody
널 위한 노래야 (This song is for you)
Please… just love me

I know I’m stupid, I know I fall too fast
But if loving you is wrong, I’d still make it last
하루만 네 곁에 있게 해줘 (Just let me be by your side for one day)
그걸로 돼 (That’s enough for me)

So girl, love me, love me, love me
Even if it’s slowly, slowly
나를 안아줘 (Hold me just once)
Before I fade away completely
Love me, love me, love me
Even if I’m nobody
이 노래 마지막 말이야 (These are my final words in this song)
Please… just love me

This post is old but the issue still remains.. all my kpop lyrics continue to show in Japanese on the Musixmatch feature. As someone who is trying to learn Korean, I like using music as a way to practice reading/speaking. Still hoping this eventually gets changed so that we can switch the lyric language on Musixmatch!!
