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.

My Attempt to translate such a beautiful beautiful song for one of the best animes of all time.
canta per me ne addio (Sings for me a goodbye)
quel dolce suono (That sweet sound)
de' passati giorni (The days passed)
mi sempre rammenta (I always recall)
la vita dell'amore (The life of Love)
dilette del cor mio (Beloved wife of cor mio?)
o felice, tu anima mia (O happy, you(ye) my soul)
canta addagio... (Sings gracefully(slowly))
tempra la cetra e canta (Tempering the Harp and Sings)
il inno di morte (The hymn of Death)
a noi si schiude il ciel (To us unfolds the ciel?)
volano al raggio (Flying to the center)
la vita dell'amore (The life of Love)
dilette del cor mio (Beloved wife of cor mio?)
o felice, tu anima mia (O happy, you(ye) my soul)
canta addagio... (Sings gracefully(slowly))
