I got curious and looked up Death come easy on the web and was surprised to find a German version. Translations have to change at least the words and often more than the words to be singable. Have you similar feelings towards translations, Harvey, and how do you keep control? (Bob Dylan for instance, or perhaps only his manager, insists not only on seeing the German lyrics but also on seeing a verbatim retranslation into English before giving his o.k.)
