A subtrope of Cover Version, or occasionally Covered Up for songs which are translated into a different language. For songs where only the melody survived the translation process, see What Song Was This Again?. When a show uses a Translated Cover Version of a song the audience knows in the original language, that's Familiar Soundtrack, Foreign Lyrics. |

In a somewhat bizarre example, Japanese band Versailles initially recorded their song "Love will be born again" in English; the Japanese version (which also turns the song from a soft ballad to a Power Ballad) didn't come until a year later. | |

"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," a hit in 1966 for Dusty Springfield and in 1970 for Elvis Presley, began life in Italian as "Io che non vivo (senza te)" (meaning "I, Who Can't Live (Without You)"), a smash in its native land for its co-writer, Pino Donaggio. | |

Elvis Presley had a No. 1 song in the UK in 1961 with "Wooden Heart," a primarily English song with a few lines in German based on a German folk song, "Muss i denn." The song was a No. 1 hit in the USA too, but for one-and-a-half-hit wonder Joe Dowell, as RCA declined to release Elvis' version in America at that time. (Presley's version was eventually released in the States a few years later but failed to chart.) | |

"Self Control," Branigan's biggest international hit, is sometimes confused as a translation because of the credit "English lyrics by Steve Piccolo" being used. The song was only recorded in English by its composer RAF in his native Italy. Both songs were released around the same time, in some countries even taking two spots on the upper regions of the chart, but with Branigan's version besting RAF's everywhere but Italy. The song was later translated to Spanish for an early Ricky Martin song, "Que Dia es Hoy." | |

Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" has been covered in Japanese by Hitomi Yaida. While the translation is mostly faithful to the original, all references to the singer having a job/being the breadwinner while her husband is unemployed have been taken out — which slight alteration completely changes it from a song about a girl from a poor neighborhood who dreams of better things but ends up singlehandedly supporting a good-for-nothing husband to a song about a girl who dreams of an exciting life but ends up playing housewife to a salaryman husband who's never home. | |

Radio Tapok has built a career covering Western pop, rock, and metal songs in Russian. He's done everything from Rammstein to Disturbed to Foo Fighters to Twenty One Pilots. His Breakthrough Hit in the west was Sabaton's "The Attack of the Dead Men", which they helped him produce in a cross-promotion that dropped the day before The Great War came out. He started producing original music during the COVID-19 pandemic. | |

The Disney XD UK broadcast of the 2005 Doraemon anime featured an English adaptation of the Japanese OP song "Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon." The American dub, however, featured a narration by Doraemon's US voice actor, Mona Marshall, over a series of clips from the series in place of an opening song. The US dub episode "Big Boys Do Cry," however, did feature an adaptation of Sneech's (Suneo's) "Rich Kid Mambo" song from the original episode, sung as "The Big Sneech Mambo" by his US voice actor, Brian Beacock. | |

Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky Heart": Stef Carse, a now-forgotten French-Canadian country singer, had a one-hit wonder in the early 1990s with a French rendition called "Achy Breaky Dance", dance moves included. Caballo Dorado produced a Spanish version titled "No rompas más mi pobre corazón", and then a bilingual version with Billy Ray Cyrus himself in 2017 for the song's 25th anniversary. |

"Gloria" by Laura Branigan was originally an Italian song by Umberto Tozzi. Branigan's version isn't a straight cover, though; her Gloria is a lonely, promiscuous loser and the lyrics are sarcastic and contemptuous, while Tozzi's original gushes almost worshipfully about a woman who is waaaaay out of his league. Tozzi also did his own English version. Carola Häggkvist has a Swedish version of Gloria. "Solitaire" was originally a bleak French language song before Branigan made a more upbeat English cover. "Self Control," Branigan's biggest international hit, is sometimes confused as a translation because of the credit "English lyrics by Steve Piccolo" being used. The song was only recorded in English by its composer RAF in his native Italy. Both songs were released around the same time, in some countries even taking two spots on the upper regions of the chart, but with Branigan's version besting RAF's everywhere but Italy.

The French novelty song "Agadou" was first recorded by Michel Delancray and Mya Symille in the 1970's. It was later covered in other languages, such as in English by the German group Saragossa Band, and in Dutch by Arie Ribbens. The most well-known English version, "Agadoo" (based heavily on the Saragossa Band version), was performed by the British party band Black Lace, and became a number-two hit in the UK (being denied the top spot by "Careless Whisper"). | |

The Latin boy band Menudo relied on this trope quite a bit. Early in their career, Menudo released a Spanish version of ABBA's "Chiquitita". A later album consisted of one half of re-recordings of their own songs and one half Spanish covers of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (Queen), "I Was Made For Loving You" (KISS), "Can't Stop the Music" (The Village People), and "Xanadu" (originally performed by Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra). Later on, their first record in English, Reaching Out, consists mainly of covers of their previous songs but translated to English. For example, "Sube a mi motora (Súbete a mi moto)" became "Motorcycle Dreamer" The album Mania contained Portuguese covers of songs from their previous four albums. The aforementioned "Súbete a mi moto" became "Suba Em Minha Moto". Mania sold over one million records in Brazil. |

Laura Pausini is an extreme case, to the point that her career has been built in this trope. After her second studio album, she released a recopilatory of all her singles she sung in Spanish, and that album sold so well than from her third onwards she releases each studio album in Italian and Spanish simultaneously. And a few of those songs have also been recorded in English as well - two in particular appear on her English album, From the Inside. | |

TWICE does this to themselves. As of 2022, the group has released four EPs containing Japanese adaptations of their Korean title songs. Beginning with "Likey", the group has filmed both language versions' music videos during the same shooting sessions. Some of their Japanese songs, for example "BDZ" and "Be As One", have Korean versions that made it onto their domestic releases. "The Feels" is a song that was originally released in English, but Chaeyoung decided she wanted to translate it into Korean. Her adaptation is a bonus track on Formula of Love. "Cry For Me" and "More & More" are unique in the group's discography for having versions in Korean, Japanese, and English. |

"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor is about rising from the ashes of heartbreak, after falling out of love with someone. "Picha Pie" by the Filipino band Parokya ni Edgar, which uses the same melody and a pastiche of its lyrical content, describes pretty much the inverse: hating someone at first, but then falling in love with them. Well, actually more like hating something at first, then falling in love with it — the song is done like any love song, but is actually about pizza. | |

Choral music basically breathed this for a while. Old octavos and other editions would have a singable English text of a foreign language original.
