Very to Sing

If my subject is " the songs"

Which tense is correct to use? :

They (the songs) can be sung by you.
Or
They can be sang by you?

I am pretty sure "sung" is to be used here, but the only examples I found up till now, on the internet, when using "sung" is that there must be; have/ will have before the verb... So I was wondering, maybe I am wrong?

Can anyone tell me which is to be used here please? Emotion: smile

I sing (present), I sang (past), I have sung (past, but possibly continuing), I will sing (future), I will have sung (future, after a certain time).

Songs are always sung, whether they will be sung, are being sung, have been sung or will have been sung.

It's confusing, even to my American ear. ;-)
