I will say that I would not sing a beautiful song with ugly words. Case in point, translation of Oleeana. Absolutely gorgeous tune to my ears and incredibly stupid translation except for the one verse about the streets of gold, which is in all sorts of songs. And I would not sing a song with beautiful words but not a great tune..case in point..I had always wanted to hear the tune of My heart's in the highlands my heart is not here..I heard it and boy was I disappointed..although perhaps I did not hear the right tune. So I would be more inclined to sing a song with pretty darn good words with a beauutiful tune than vise versa and I would never intentionally sing a song where the words did not fit right into the tune or were crammed in etc. I just go ouch whenever that happens, and I also go ouch when someone takes a song that fits nicely into the tune and messes with it, draws out parts etc. mg
