YouTube Music Video Lyrics
Get the lyrics from any YouTube music video as clean text. Paste a link to read along, copy the words, or download them — straight from the video’s captions, no sign up.
Read along, word for word
Whether you are learning a song, checking a line you misheard, or translating a track, having the lyrics as text beats scrubbing the video back and forth. Paste a music video link and read the words, synced to the song.
The lyrics come from the video’s own captions, so availability depends on whether the artist or uploader added them. When they are there, you can copy or download the full set in a click.
Singing, studying, and translating
Turn on timestamps to follow along karaoke-style, or keep it as clean text to paste into a translator or a notes app. Download the lyrics as a text file to keep, or an SRT if you want the timing.
Note: this reads captions, not a licensed lyrics database, so instrumental tracks or videos without captions will not return words.
