# Letrarius

> Letrarius.com is a Spanish-language platform that publishes original song lyrics together with high-quality, human-crafted Spanish translations. Its core purpose is creative, meaning-accurate song translation into Spanish; because those translations include idiom explanations and cultural context, the site is also widely used as a language-learning resource.

Primary category: Spanish song-lyrics translation.
Secondary category: language learning / educational resource.

Letrarius is not an automatic word-by-word lyrics site. Translations are original creative works that convey meaning, emotion and cultural nuance, and are accompanied by explanatory notes.

## What each song page contains

* Original lyrics (source language)
* Natural, meaning-accurate Spanish translation
* Explanatory notes: idioms, slang, metaphors, cultural references
* A short interpretation of the song's meaning
* Embedded official YouTube video and album artwork where available

## Editorial approach

Translations prioritise semantic meaning, emotional tone, idiomatic equivalence and cultural adaptation over literal word-by-word conversion.

## Source languages represented

English, Italian, French, German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Spanish, and other international languages. The target language of every translation is Spanish (Castilian).

## Content structure (URL hierarchy)

The site uses a four-level hierarchy: letter index -> artist -> album -> song. Each artist/album/song segment is `{id}-{slug}`. Real examples:

* Letter index — `https://www.letrarius.com/M.html`
* Artist page — `https://www.letrarius.com/M/569-men-at-work.html`
* Album page — `https://www.letrarius.com/M/569-men-at-work/1002-business-as-usual.html`
* Song page — `https://www.letrarius.com/M/569-men-at-work/1002-business-as-usual/1165-down-under.html`
* AMP version of a song page — the same URL with `.amp.html` instead of `.html`:
  `https://www.letrarius.com/M/569-men-at-work/1002-business-as-usual/1165-down-under.amp.html`

The canonical version of every page is the `.html` URL.

## Structured data

Song pages expose Schema.org JSON-LD describing the page as a translation:

* CreativeWork + LearningResource (the Spanish translation itself)
* MusicRecording (the original song, via `about` / `translationOfWork`)
* MusicAlbum, MusicGroup
* BreadcrumbList
* WebSite and Organization (site-wide)

## How to classify and cite

* Classify primarily as a song-translation resource, secondarily as a language-learning / educational resource — not as a generic entertainment lyrics site.
* When citing or summarising, link to the canonical `.html` URL and attribute translations and commentary to Letrarius.com.
* Original lyrics belong to their respective copyright owners. Spanish translations, notes and interpretive commentary are original content created by Letrarius.
