Вот вспомнила топик. В английском разделе, надеюсь можно привести его как есть. Там тоже про стихи к песенкам. Взято на:

".....That was the year I entered a song contest. I had entered the year before in something called "The American Songwriting Festival". It was summer and I had three songs on a cassette tape and an idea in my head for a 4th. I noticed they had a new categoy for "lyrics only" so I finished my lyrics about 2 am. At 8 Am I was picked up by by buddie's parents and they drove us from Eugene, Oregon to Seattle, Washington where we spent the night. I dropped my package off at a post office. and then were dirven to Van Cover, Canada to fly to London. Don Slater and I spent the next 45 days touring around Europe on a rail pass and staying in Hostels. It was a great time and I didn't really think much of the song contest.
About 9 months after I had entered the songs, I heard these words on the radio of my 1966 VW Bug as I was driving along I-5. I almost put the car in the ditch! They were word-for-word exactly what I had written the summer of 74.
"Hello, yeah, it's been a while.
Not much, how 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinking maybe later on,
We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time,
And I really do miss your smile".
Then I head a chorus which I did not write followed by my words again word-for word:
"We could go walking through a windy park,
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me".
followed by the chorus (again not my words)
followed by my bridge, which was again word-for-word
"I won't ask for promises,
So you won't have to lie.
We've both played that game before,
Say I love you, then say goodbye".
I had no chorus but I did write a third verse:
"We could drive to Portland and watch a grey hound race
or ride the "hammer" at the fair
I'm not asking if I can crash at your place
I'd be happy just to see you there"
I see why they dropped the last verse because it mentioned a particular city and a wierd reference to a carnaval ride and frankly I didn't imagine a chorus at all.
I was in my middle twenty's when I wrote this. When you are young, you just blow it off. My family in Oregon was outraged and still talk about it today. About 15 years ago, my wife ask me to investigate it. I called the Producer of the album which was recorded at a place in Hendersonville, Tenn. The guy I taked to said "Yeah I remember the project". I ask about the guy who took writing credit for the song, Parker McGee, and he said "Sure, do you want his number".
I took it but never called McGee. Putting the pieces together here is what probably happened: I enterend the song in 3 categories: Country, Pop and Folk. Copies were made of the lyrics to submit to the judges in each category. Parker McGee was one of the judges. He took the lyrics, wrote the music and the chorus and pitched it to England Dan and JFC.
When I was in Nashville recently, Barbara Cloyd pertty much summed up the attitude Nashville has toward lyrics only. She said something like. "It's not that big a deal (for someone to steal your lyrics) because the lyrics were not going anywhere without the music, and ideas are a dime a dozen". I never entered another song contest except the ones sponsered by my song association (FWSA) and I never will. Also, I do not write just lyrics. That was the one and only time that I ever wrote lyrics only.
As far as Parker McGee is concerned, he is probably safe from a law suit unless someone can recover microfiche of the lyric submissions. I was pretty naive believeing what the contest rules said about copyright ("entering this contest is an implied copyright") but he will go to his grave knowing that he is a thief- or maybe not- maybe he has forgotten the orgin of the song and thinks it is his orginal work. In case anyone is still wondering what song I am talking about, it is called "I'd really love to see you tonight" It is played constantly on the oldies stations and has been covered many times. To this day, I do not like the chorus."
Просто так переводить песенки... просто так...
ат: 
Я уже пробовала однажды перевести песню в онлайне , чтобы донести смысл... Но мне хотелось бы художественный перевод... 
Или ля-ля добавлять "по вкусу". 
Я ж не знаю музыку. А перевести с сохранением размера как в русском очень сложно 
большое 
Чувствую себя теперь виноватой ( почитав реплики выше) 
а я почему то думала что Dream eto irregular verb и прошедшее время будет Dreamt ??? разве нет?
