Songs Translated from English – Translate Words or Meanings?

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.

Most will do a combination of both. Depending on the source language and the language it’s being translated in to, there may not be an exact translation available. Sentence structure and word conjugation can also vary.
