Song Translating!!

Heyo!!! :3

Im currently translating a song with a friend so that we can cover it, since the original is in Japanese it's pretty time consuming to match up the melody and syllables in English T-T

I was wondering if anyone had tips for translating a song? 

I want to keep the same meaning of the song throughout, while also maintaining an enjoyable rhyme scheme

Any and all tips help!

If you're curious, the song is Ikanaide (Do not go) by Sohta :3
