Abstract: This research focuses on teaching three translation strategies using a lyric of a rock song to university students in Indonesia. The first strategy is locating the messages and transferred them into TL. The second strategy is finding the closest equivalent in TL. The third strategy is re-expressing the meaning. There are four criterions in scoring students’ translation tasks. The first criterion is “translation as a science”. The second criterion is “translation as a craft”. The third criterion is “translation as an art”. The fourth criterion is “translation as a taste”.
