Song: 笑着哭 (Xiào zhe kū) •Album: 《笑著哭》(2016)

笑着哭

昨天我在你的房间
看见一个春天的画面
阳光撒在你微笑的脸上
一滴泪静静挂在你的眼角

你微笑点燃我的微笑
就好像一切从未发生
那些蜿蜒的分明是泪水
我不去猜是欢喜是伤悲

突然间我感到如此快乐的心酸
付出所有只为找寻我的梦
突然间我感到如此狂喜的悲哀
拥有一切也不过就这样笑着哭

生命也像一次云游
坎坷也是一种收获
伤痛就像一次放声歌唱
唱什么有谁能够明了

经过那些变幻的岁月
经过那些屈辱和荣耀
你看着这个繁华世界
面带微笑地轻声哭泣

突然间我感到如此快乐的心酸
付出所有只为找寻我的梦
突然间我感到如此狂喜的悲哀
拥有一切也不过就这样笑着哭

突然间我明白泪水映出的岁月
付出所有只为找寻你的梦
突然间我明白微笑掩藏的悲哀
沧桑经过也不过就这样笑着哭
拥有一切也不过就这样笑着哭

Laughing while Crying

Yesterday, I was at your house，
Seeing an image of spring。
The sunlight sprinkles on your smiling face
A tear quietly hangs in the corner of your eye.

Your smile ignites my smile
as if nothing has ever happened.
Those winding clear teardrops
I couldn’t guess whether they were those of joy or sorrow.

Suddenly [in that space] I feel such a happy sadness.
[I’ve] paid everything just to follow my dreams.
Suddenly I feel such sadness in ecstasy
However, everything is like this: laughing while crying.

Life is also like a wandering cloud
Rough and also a harvest.
Pain is like singing a song from the top of one’s voice.
Singing, “who could understand clearly?”

It passes those fluctuating years.
It passes those humiliations and glories.
You see this bustling world–
Smiling outwardly, while quietly crying.

Suddenly [in that space] I feel such a happy sadness.
[I’ve] paid everything just to follow my dreams.
Suddenly I feel such sadness in ecstasy
However, everything is like this: laughing while crying.

Suddenly I understand the years reflected off of tears.
[You’ve] paid everything just to go for your dreams
Suddenly I understand the sadness hidden by a smile.
All that life has to offer passes like this: laughing while crying.
However, everything is like this: laughing while crying.
