This cannot be translated word for word

Ils ont chanté une chanson sur la force de leur amour

This sentence cannot be translated literally because the phrase “to sing about” doesn’t exist as such in French. What I would say would be more something like this:

“Ils chantaient une chanson qui parlait de l’amour qu’ils avaient l’un pour l’autre.” (which means literally “They sang a song that talked about the love they had for one another”) I cannot think of any other decent way to express this idea without making it sound like an anglicism.
