Translation is an indispensable part of our life. Various resources are constantly translated. Translation has entered our lives so much that not only written sources but also audio-visual sources and songs are translated today. Although the translation of songs is difcult, its translation is also important. Because of rhyme, number of syllables, harmony with the music in the song, etc., it is very difcult to talk about an absolute translation in such translations. Although translation is possible in children's songs due to the simplicity of the language used, we also encounter some adaptations or writing new lyrics in such translations. For this study, it is aimed to examine the translation strategies based on those of Franzon (2008) and to discuss them within the framework of the Skopos Theory put forward by Hans Vermeer. For this, two randomly selected songs from two animated musical movies of the Walt Disney Company, namely "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) and "Encanto" (2021) have been examined. These movies have been selected to understand if there are any differences between the rst movie (1937) and the last movie (2021) in terms of song translation strategies. In the study, the songs have been examined one by one, and the translation strategies have been determined and shown in tables. As a result; it has been revealed that the most frequently used translation strategy is Translating the lyrics by taking the music into account in the rst movie: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. However, in the second movie, “Encanto”, it is Adapting the translation to the original music.
