QUIZ: Guess The K-Pop Song From These Badly Translated Lyrics! (Female K-Pop Edition Round 2)
The female edition of the “Badly Translated Lyrics” quiz is back for another round!
Translating writing or literature is a difficult art form. Translating lyrics is just as difficult, if not more so. The translator has to correctly convey the songwriter’s intended meaning while also accounting for cultural or language differences. Because of these factors, online translation sites like Google Translate are often found not quite up to task. As you will see in the following quiz, Google Translate sometimes ends up with some pretty funny translations.
So, fellow Soompiers, have a go at guessing the K-pop song from these badly translated lyrics. And even if you get them wrong, I hope it a least makes you giggle (or snort)!
And if you haven’t tried them yet, here are the other quizzes in the series – Male Edition Round 1, Male Edition Round 2, Female Edition Round 1.
Credits to Colour Coded Lyrics for the proper English translations.
