When songs are translated from English into something like Mandarin – is it a word for word translation? How to rhymes work in translation?

Hearing the Mandarin version of “Yellow” while high made me think too hard about this.

Usually the overall meaning will be kept but the words will change so they rhyme. As in 99 red balloons.
