Yes. Search across Spanish, Serbian, Korean, Chinese, and more. LyricLingo translates each line with transliteration, grammar notes, and pronunciation so you can compare quickly.
How does the vocabulary builder work?
While reviewing a song you can save unfamiliar words. They go into a personal deck with context sentences so you can quiz yourself and reinforce memory at any time.
Do I need to connect a music service?
Connecting Spotify or YouTube improves playback, but you can still read lyrics, translations, and vocabulary insights without linking an external account.

LyricLingo blends official lyric sources with an AI translation engine that looks at the entire verse, keeping idioms, slang, and cultural references intact while showing the literal meaning as a backup.
