Because Polish song translators take great care for the lyrics to match the syllable count exactly, so you can sing to the exact same tune as the original version. I only remember one case (not counting that chant in Laughter song, that was different) where the lyrics were off by one syllable. That's in Find a Pet song, when Fluttershy sings „Może biedronka lub taki świerszczyk” which on paper looks as having as many syllables as the original line, but the accentation forced the singer to double a syllable and sing „taki” as „ta-aki”. Some other dubbings are not as strict in that matter: see one of my comments in "Make a Wish" international versions.

And sticking to the original tune as much as possible forces us to sometimes bend the words to change the exact meaning, but still conveying the general message of the song. Which produces sometimes hilarious results (I wonder if you will guess which song they come from): Pinkie is "turned on" by the gala, A friend will lend you a hand(sic), Rainbow Dash is a circus star and "plays" with Wonderbolts in the clouds, Rarity wanted to include some (fashionable ;)) hook-and-loop fasteners in Rainbow's dress (she sung that so fast, that it took us a year or more to discover it). But at other time the results are epic: Pinkie will your frown into a croissant of joy; a light within you can crush one thousand rocks, quell the storm, stop the squall, and silence the thundering of the seawaves; one particular stallion will make your kitchen free of any jam; and your health will neigh like a horse.

Oh, and Hebrew stuff. Haven't listened to today's stuff yet, but the dubbing sound pretty well to me.
