Anyone have a spanish or french translation to "Music of the Night" from Phantom....this is something I would love to try.  I've translated it through Altavista, but it winds up making no sense at all.  Any help would be great!!

Jose,  an actually translation isn't what he wants is it ?

Song lyrics aren't a straight translation of a language are they ?

The lyrical content of a song will be altered slighting to allow for phrasing, poetic structure, etc from on language to another.

If I translate "Music of the Night" to spanish, what I end up with doesn't work.

My guess is like other songs, loads of "nips and tucks" take place when translating music lyrics to a different language.

Ya Steve is right....there is an actual musical translation of the song, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Jason,  I tried looking last night.   Seems that even given the amazing number of obscure things a person can locate on the net with a resourceful search,  this is abit tougher.  Still looking.


Finding translated musical lyrics of some of these songs, isn't quite as easy as I anticipated it would be when I first read your post
