Google translate is not reliable, that's for starters.

Sometimes the translations are altered in order to make more sense or make it sound more appealing.

Most translations are never exact, as certain words can be translated to many things. This leads to the differences you see despite it all translating the same thing.

German, for example, does this a lot. Certain German songs (Du Hast by Rammstein) have their literal meaning entirely flipped in translation in order to make sense/sound better.

I agree with Crystal Dragon.

Also with dubbing they have to make the translations go with the character's lip movements. Or else it would look like a dub of a Chinese movie like Ip Man

omg that song was Ouran

Anyways. In that case, the lyrics have to actually go with the song. You can't sing to like... a national anthem or something with the lyrics from gangnam style. It just wouldn't sound right because he SAYS SO MUCH STUFF

Also this could also be that it may mean something inappropriate so the translators make it less inappropriate.

Yeah. Or they want it to fit in with western culture more.
Example: Infamous Onigiri being turned into Jelly donuts.
