Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
Surprised no-one's mentioned the song title, or can everyone speak french!? I can't
Have loved this song for well over a decade, bought a piano just so I could learn to play this song, and only just now did I look up the translation of the song title:
French: comptine d'un autre été l'apres midi
English: Nursery Rhyme from Another Summer Afternoon.
Perfect.
I have. One of my favorite movies--it is so amazingly beautiful. All the music is beautiful, too.
Bit morbid, but when I heard this before I had seen Amelie, it struck me as good music to kill yourself to.
I love this song. So much. I found the sheet music for it, and was surprised by how easy it was to play and pick up. It is so much easier to play than it sounds. I've already memorised it, from only playing a few times! Such an amazing piece with a wonderful, haunting melody. A definite favourite.

I don't find this song sad. I find it reverent.
The piano is so beautiful, i cannot believe no one on this site has commented on this song. Has anyone on this site even seen the movie Amelie?
