I Started a Joke lyrics with English translation

I started a joke

I began a jest

Which started the whole world crying

That made the whole world weep

But I didn't see

But I was blind to see

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the jest was on me, oh no

I started to cry

I started to weep

Which started the whole world laughing

And the whole world erupted in laughter

Oh, if I'd only seen

Oh, if only I had known

That the joke was on me

That the jest was at my expense

I looked at the skies

I gazed at the heavens

Running my hands over my eyes

Wiping my eyes with my hands

And I fell out of bed

我从床上摔下

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

头痛得让我想起我说过的话

'Til I finally died

直到我终于死去

Which started the whole world living

这让整个世界开始生活

Oh, if I'd only seen

哦，要是我早点明白

That the joke was on me

这个笑话的主角是我

I looked at the skies

我仰望着天空

Running my hands over my eyes

双手摩挲着我的眼睛

And I fell out of bed

我从床上摔下

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

头痛得让我想起我说过的话

'Til I finally died

'Til I finally passed away

Which started the whole world living

That sparked life in the whole world

Oh, if I'd only seen

Oh, if I had only realized

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the punchline was on me, oh no

That the joke was on me

That the punchline was on me
