Covers are technicaly the same songs but many bands adds thier own perosonal touches while covering. Like these two:
Orginal

Cover
http://lyricstranslate.com/en/Metallica-Tuesdays-Gone-Metallica-Cover-ly...

Metallica had longered it and switched "Lord" with "baby".
From what I understend, if the covers and orginals get connected they will get all one and the same translation. So what to do in the situations as above, add the connection as required or add it somewere else(notes, in the title)?

Hi,

When lyrics are different you can add a new, separate entry. When it's the same, you may add the name of the artist/s who covered the song in the 'Also performed by' field.

It may help people if you left a comment in the 'Submitter's comment' section that a song in question is a cover of someone else, though it's not mandatory to do that.

Currently the policy is that even if the lyrics are identical, all cover versions can get their own entry.
If you add such an entry, put the other artists who performed the same song all into the "also performed by"-fields of the new entry and ask an editor or mod to also put them into the "also performed by"-fields of the already existing entries of the song.

The covers are allowed, but it’s not allowed to post the duplicated translations and that’s what you did at least twice:

Our rules clearly don’t allow that and in addition it’s explained here: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/faq#faq21

Please delete each one of your duplicated translations. It’s up to you to decide which one, because I would automatically delete the one that was added as a second one.
