可歌可泣 lyrics with English translation

泪无谓被当宝

Tears are meaningless when treated like treasure

纸巾更缺乏 应该折好

The tissues are running low, I should fold them right

被遗下便申诉

Left behind, I plead my case

把矮化的你 推得太高

Pushed too high, the you I diminished

好友也别被我感染到

Dear friends, don’t let me infect you too

不想扫兴便不讲更好

Better not to speak if I don’t want to spoil the mood

知道世上太多种劫数

I know there are too many kinds of tribulations in this world

因失意哭诉 哭得太早

Crying over disappointments, crying too soon

还在世 被风沙刮损 不须给安慰

Still here, weathered by the sand, no need for comfort

情很细 谁能大过我世界

Feelings are delicate, who can outshine my world

你细过世界 未放下便放低

You’re finer than the world, let go if you can’t hold on

可泣的不要了 可歌的不见了

What’s tearful is no more, what’s songful has vanished

被强逼开了窍

Forced to awaken my senses

可歌可泣爱了 可观的只有笑

With love that sings and cries, laughter is all that's left to see

能确保心跳才重要

All that matters is to ensure my heart beats

低唱悲歌也都无谓高调

Singing sad songs softly, no need for a loud tone

但求三餐不缺少

Just hoping not to miss my meals

都几岁了 不需要照料

At this age, I don't need care

泪无效便要忍

If tears are futile, I must endure

即使发泄后得到快感

Even if relief brings pleasure afterward

为无道义的你

For the unprincipled you,

怎可惹得我知己痛心

How can you make my confidant feel such pain?

经过 当做未抹的脚印

Passing by, as if leaving untrodden footprints,

将心痒当做肌肤敏感

Treating my heart's itch as a sensitive skin,

一吻 兑换两巴掌教训

One kiss trades for two slaps of lessons,

不可以胆怯只好勇敢

Can't be timid, must be brave,

还在世 被风沙刮损 不须给安慰

Still in this world, scarred by the winds and sands, no need for comfort,

情很细 谁能大过我世界

Feelings are delicate, who can surpass my world?

就算爱过你 问你又是哪位

Even having loved you, do I ask, who are you again?

可泣的不要了 可歌的不见了

What can be wept for is now gone, what's to be sung is lost.

被强逼开了窍

Forced open, I've seen the light

可歌可泣爱了 可观的只有笑

A love both beautiful and tragic, all that remains is laughter

能确保心跳才重要

It's the heartbeat that matters most

低唱悲歌也都无谓高调

Singing a sad tune, no need to raise the volume

但求三餐不缺少

As long as I have my three meals, I'll be fine

一哭惯了 怎知你渺小

Crying has become a habit, how can you know you're small?

给关怀便纵惯我 会更易记起当初

With care, I grow accustomed, it makes me remember the beginning

没什么一笑便过

Nothing much, just a smile and it's over

也至少把某些遗憾化为玩笑好过

At least turning some regrets into laughter is better

多苦都可以笑 多苦都只有笑

No matter how bitter, I can smile; no matter how bitter, it's just a smile

谁也不想打扰

No one wants to intrude,

多感激心会跳 记挂你可谓无聊

Grateful hearts skip a beat, thinking of you is quite a bore.

戏票总会如玩票

Tickets to a show are just like playing around,

可泣的不要了 可歌的不见了

What's weep-worthy is past, what's sing-worthy is gone.

被强逼开了窍

Forced to open up a crack,

可歌可泣爱了 可观的只有笑

Love that can sing and weep has turned to nothing but smiles.

能确保心跳才重要

Ensuring my heart still beats is all that matters,

即使跌低也都无谓高调

Even when I fall, there's no need for loud declarations,

但求三餐不缺少

Just hoping my meals will never lack,

都几岁了 不需要照料

At this age, I don't need care anymore.

可以歌为何哭

Why cry when you can sing?

不需要等结局该满足

No need to wait for a satisfying end.

若嫌未曾受伤够

If you think you haven't been hurt enough,

竟想到报复 只恐折福

You might scheme for revenge, just fearing to lose your blessings.
