I'm not into the German rep as much.. so I don't know this to be true for translating Deutsch.. but in Italian opera?!?! How many times do you need to see "speranza", or "sorriso".. lol.. sure it's hard when you start, but, with time it gets easier because you already KNOW all the vocabulary.
The issue is when you want/need a translation RIGHT NOW.. then hell yeah, you gots to cheat! But I just find it so much easier to translate whatever I'm singing, a few pages a day, WELL in advance of when it's needed.. less stressful too.
You need time to eat the elephant, nicht?
