Activate and access lyrics during playback
Displaying lyrics on Deezer is child’s play, but you still need to know where to look. Here’s how to do it, whether you’re on mobile or computer.
On mobile, start by launching the song of your choice. If lyrics are available, you’ll see a little microphone icon in the player. Press it, then select the “Lyrics” button. The lyrics will then appear and scroll in sync with the music. It’s fast and convenient, especially if you like to sing along!
On the desktop application or on Deezer.com, it’s just as easy. Once the song has started, look at the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Click on the microphone icon and the lyrics will appear immediately. No need to look any further.
Bear in mind that this feature is only available for tracks that include lyrics in the Deezer database. You’ll easily recognize them by the microphone icon. If it’s not there, lyrics are not available for that track.
Synchronizing lyrics with music
Once the lyrics are activated, Deezer offers an immersive experience by automatically synchronizing the lyrics with the music. The words scroll across your screen in real time, making it easy to follow the rhythm of your favorite songs.
How does synchronization work?
Lyric synchronization on Deezer is a feature that displays lyrics in real time, perfectly aligned with the music. In concrete terms, when you listen to a song, the lyrics automatically scroll across your screen, line by line, in time with the melody. The current word or phrase is often highlighted, so you can easily follow along. This is ideal for singing along, or simply understanding the lyrics better.
This synchronization is made possible thanks to a partnership with LyricFind, a platform specialized in lyrics management. However, it can happen that certain songs present synchronization errors or missing lyrics. In such cases, Deezer lets you report the problem directly from the application. Simply select the “Report a problem” option in the playback menu. This helps the team to correct errors and improve the user experience.
It’s a practical, immersive feature that adds real value to your music listening.
Common problems and solutions
As with any application, Deezer can occasionally encounter technical problems. Here are solutions to the most common problems:
– If the lyrics don’t appear, start by checking your Internet connection. A simple restart of the application may also solve the problem.
– Program crashes or freezes? Close it completely, then relaunch it. If the problem persists, an uninstall followed by a reinstall often works wonders.
– For loading problems, clear the application cache in your device settings. This will solve most performance problems.
– If some songs appear grayed out, don’t panic: this usually happens when you have a poor connection, or when a track is temporarily unavailable in your region.
Don’t forget that Deezer customer service is always available for more complex problems. Most of the time, these simple solutions are enough to restore a smooth listening experience.
Translate the lyrics on Deezer
Deezer offers a lyric translation feature that greatly enriches the listening experience. Whether you’re a fan of K-pop, Latin music or simply curious to understand lyrics in other languages, this option gives you instant access to the meaning of the lyrics. The translation is available for a wide range of languages and is displayed alongside the original lyrics.
Integrated translation functionality
Deezer offers a handy feature for translating the lyrics of your favorite songs. To use it, first select a song and start playing it. Then click on “Lyrics” (accessible via the microphone icon) and choose the “With translation” option. The translated lyrics will appear directly below the original lyrics, in the language configured on your device.
This option is available for over 10,000 titles and supports several languages, including French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and German. It’s a great way to better understand songs in a foreign language, whether you’re learning or simply enjoying the lyrics.
Finally, the good news is that this feature is available to all users, even without a Premium subscription. If you wish to revert to the original lyrics, simply select “No translation”.
