English term or phrase: ARCHIVE OF THE MISHEARD LYRICS
CHANDGE THE CONTENT OF A SONG
RIGAUX.F
French translation:Les archives des paroles malentendues / mal comprises
Explanation:
Ça fait partie d'un site web de "jokes", organisé par un certain John Shults ([email protected])... . C'est un site purement américain, et n'a pas de traduction en autre langue. (J'ai fait une recherche sur Google, qui n'a donné que des résultats en anglais--voir page Google ci-bas). Donc, vous pourrez vous contenter d'une traduction directe du titre en anglais (sauf que je mettrais *ARCHIVE* au pluriel, parce qu'au singulier, ça fait pas très élégant).

Archives des paroles mal entendues


Explanation:
The word "parole" in french is the most commonly correct used word in french ; "lyrique" refers to a poem used for a song and is seldom used.

Also, I'd say "mal entendues" ie "not correctly heard" because the distinction between this and "incomprises" (misunderstood) may be important : one refers to the auditives senses, the other to cognitive capacities which in the context of a specialised text may be important to differentiate..
