Transcribe & Translate 5 Bebey Songs
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have five Francis Bebey tracks that need to be turned into clear, sing-ready English lyrics. The originals are mostly in French with pockets of Douala, so I’m after a balanced approach: keep key phrases and wordplay intact yet make sure the overall meaning still flows naturally in English.
For the Douala passages, please mix literal sense with a touch of creativity so the cultural flavour isn’t lost. When a direct equivalent simply doesn’t exist, add a brief parenthetical note explaining the reference.
Deliverables (single PDF):
• Full French-and-Douala transcription for each song, line-by-line.
• Parallel English translation underneath each line, following the combination approach above.
This five-song batch is a paid test; if the tone, accuracy and readability feel right, I have a larger catalogue ready to hand over next.
