Letras de Smells Like Teen Spirit

Oh boi if you get to read some of his other compositions, you gonna see that this song is one of the few that is quite straight-forward and actually makes enough sense haha https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Nirvana-Plain-lyrics.html

For comparison, in the song "On a Plain" there's this piece: "My mother died every night" Where's the sense in that? How can a mother/human die every night? How'd you translate it? Even the title and other sentences in the song are hard to interpret. Interesting, uh? If you seek the logical sense behind it, you're gonna have a hard time. Then you can search the abstract sense behind it, and find out that it may be about Kurt's mother being upset with his drug use, or when she was going away to parties, thus leaving him alone and he was worried, or even getting in fights with her husband, or simply drug-related paranoia, etc, etc. It's endlessly complicated - what you can and should do is to translate it directly to your language - "My mother died every night" in German, simple like that - Let the meaning form in the mind of the beholder - that's what I usually go for (or add a note to say what you think and how you got to that, this can be good, but usually people go full Illuminati-theory when doing that lol)

You're right in trying to connect his lyrics to feminist ideals since he was a feminist and would, sometimes, write towards those views, but not always, he refrained from putting straight-forward political views into his lyrics (but not intimate and social feelings, which could be considered political, but not bluntly as some punk bands would do). An example would be "Rape Me", instead of singing "Don't rape women you bastards!" he basicly sang the contrary, to most people (and MTV back in the day) chagrin and confusion. He would always choose the abstract / ironic / weird path.

So I see how you got to that concept, but after all this time interpreting that song since the first time I listened to it, I still don't think that the song as a whole or that stanza, in particular, are about feminism. It is pretty well documented that that part was about his ex-gf characteristics, which may coincide with feminism (but is being overbored regarded as a feminist thing though?) Anyway, even if it was, you would be taking the (interrelational) focus away from her and would put it onto another field, a plain political one, which Kurt, with some exceptions, wasn't known for doing so. Lastly, that wasn't the only girlfriend he wrote lyrics for, so there's that.

Now, the song "Been a Son" is definitely on the line of feminism, but that has a much clearer, identifiable meaning: His father didn't want to have a daughter (Cobain's sister) which can be, and probably is, always extended to "some fathers in this society don't want to have daughters", but I wouldn't take away the important fact that he was primarily referring to his own father and sister, got that? "Serve the Servants" is another song where he's talking directly to his father, it's common in his songwriting to refer to specific people.

So with that said, when translating Nirvana songs, don't seek logical sense. Kurt liked to rhyme and sing uncommon words and random stuff (check "Heart-Shaped Box", "Stay Away", "Lounge Act", to name a few, they may be a real pain in the a** to translate lol especially the first one) because people weren't going to hear that stuff from any other band, making it unique.

About that dirty word line, notice that later he says "how low!" which is a way someone could respond to a dirty word being said in an upper-class place, so there you go, a "sense" I could find, but that's about it, no connection to other words. And, you know, if the lyrics are "I know a good coffee shop" just translate it as it is, if it's too complicated and illogical don't overthink it that much (although I do that myself and it's kinda good and necessary for a translator, buuuut don't overdo it =)
