How to download the lyrics to the phone Xiaomi: all the ways of 2026

Do you listen to your favorite song on Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 or Poco X5 Pro, but can’t make out the words? Or want to sing along to a cover of Mi 11 Ultra, but the lyrics are constantly lost in the bookmarks of the browser? Downloading songs to Xiaomi smartphones is easier than it seems, but it has nuances: from blocking downloads in MIUI to problems with encoding Cyrillic characters. In this guide, we will analyze 5 working methods, including hidden functions of standard applications and bypassing system restrictions.

Importantly, the methods differ for different versions of MIUI (12/13/14) and smartphone models. For example, on Xiaomi 13T with HyperOS, the text saving algorithm from Google Search has changed, and on older Redmi 9A, copying through the clipboard may not work due to the limitations of RAM. We took these features into account and prepared instructions with the current updates of 2026.

Method 1: Save text through music apps

The most reliable method is to use specialized music services that automatically upload and save lyrics, and Xiaomi has three best applications:

• 🎵 Yandex Music – shows words synchronously with the track, allows you to save them as a screenshot or text file through a long press.
• 🎶 VK Music – Premium version has the function of exporting text to.txt (available on the Internet) MIUI 14+).
• 📱 Musixmatch is a separate text app that integrates with Spotify and Apple Music, but Xiaomi requires manual permissions settings.

1. Open the track and tap the song text icon (in the lower right corner of the player).
2. Hold your finger on any word and the Copy/Share menu will appear.
3. Select Share → Save to Notes or Copy to Buffer.
4. Insert the text into Notepad or Google Docs and save the file.

⚠️ Note: On smartphones Xiaomi with MIUI 13 and below when copying from VK Music can be lost line transfers. To avoid this, open Settings before inserting. → Additionally. → Buffer exchange and clear history.

Method 2: Search and download text through the browser

If you prefer not to install additional apps, the lyrics of any song can be found and saved through the browser. On Xiaomi, it is better to use Google Chrome or Mi Browser (but in the second case, some sites may be blocked due to the built-in antivirus).

Step-by-step:

1. Open the browser and enter the query: the song lyrics [track title] [performer] site:genius.com (example: lyrics to Boombayah BLACKPINK site:genius.com).
2. Go to the text page. On Genius or AZLyrics, words usually appear without ads.
3. Slip on the free space on the page and select Select Allocate → Copy.
4. Insert text into Notepad (Applications → Tools → Notes) or create a document in Google Drive.

Alternative sites for searching for texts:

• 🌍 Genius is the most complete archive, but can slow down on weak Xiaomi (e.g. Redmi) 8A).
• 🎤 AZLyrics – simple design, but a lot of advertising MIUI It is blocked by built-in AdBlock).
• 🇷🇺 Texts-Song.ru - convenient for Russian-language tracks, but requires disabling the download restriction in Settings → Annexes → browser → Permits.

💡

If you copy text from the site appear extra characters (for example, "—"), Change the encoding in Notepad: Open the menu (⋮) → Coding → UTF-8.

Method 3: Using Telegram Bots

Few people know, but there are bots on Telegram that instantly find and send lyrics directly to the chat, which is convenient if you often search for track words on the go, the main advantage is that you do not need to open a browser or apps.

The best bots for song lyrics:

• 🤖 @LyricsBot — supports Russian and foreign tracks, sends text in the form of a message.

3. The bot will send text – hold your finger on the message and choose Copy text.
4. Insert text into Notes or send yourself to Save Messages.

⚠️ Note: On smartphones Xiaomi with MIUI 14 when copying from Telegram, the clipboard restriction (maximum 500 characters) may work. To avoid this, break the text into parts or use the function Export chat (in the bot settings).

Instructions:

1. Activate Google Assistant with a voice command (OK, Google) or by holding the Home button.
2. Say, "Find the lyrics to the song [title]" (example: Find the lyrics to the song Shape of You).
3. The assistant will show the result from Google Search – tap the link and copy the text as in Method 2.
4. To save text automatically, say: Save this to Google Keep (you will need login to your Google account).
