Arief Nugroho This thesis entitled Translation Lyrics Translation Strategies of “Terlalu Manis” Translated into “Too Sweet to Forget” is conducted to identify what translation strategies are used to translate the song lyrics. There were several steps in doing this study. Under the qualitative research, the data collection started from copying and pasting the song lyrics from internet, reading the lyrics, and categorizing each translation strategy from line to line with Åkerström’s translation strategies framework (2009).

The result of this study reveals that the use of paraphrase translation strategy is higher than the other strategies.
