It varies from song to song. This one was a bit different in that the only attempt at a translation I could find was someone else singing English lyrics over top of the song... which I can't verify as being even remotely accurate, but considered likely close enough for me to have the basic gist of the song's meaning.

There are one or two songs that I had to resort to Google Translate on because there was no trace of anything anywhere, but I'm not immediately sure if either of those were nominated by you; I'll say that I know two of your nominations had incredibly in depth translations available:

The one about Hong Kong had a full line-by-line breakdown of what was being said and the significance of it. This helped the song a fair amount because I knew absolutely nothing about Hong Kong and the lyrics were completely inscrutable without some additional help.

And the Sam Hui song had a good debate on how the lyrics should be translated, what they would literally be translated as, and what not:

Quite an interesting read, honestly.
