Lyrics and translation Andy Hui - 苦中作樂

苦中作樂

某次 某晚 生命中某人
临分手也狠 说世界谁比我亲
我信那两秒的我 曾经是最开心的人
幸福纯属偶然 谁介意没永生
还记得幸福的感觉 苦中可作乐 已堪称快乐
谁为寂寞恋爱 将来也许更寂寞
能记得受苦的知觉 苦中总有乐 还祈求甚么
若永久一起无方 我也懂得难过
已证明 曾发生的不算幻觉

你说每次见到我 良心便再得到试炼
热恋容或偶然 朋友永远发展
还记得幸福的感觉 苦中可作乐 已堪称快乐
谁为寂寞恋爱 将来也许更寂寞
能记得受苦的知觉 苦中总有乐 还祈求甚么
若永久一起无方 我也懂得难过
已证明 曾发生的不算幻觉
你能对我讲 曾真心喜欢着我
亦已真心不喜欢我 还求甚么
还记得幸福的感觉 苦中可作乐 已堪称快乐
谁为寂寞恋爱 将来也许更寂寞
能记得受苦的知觉 苦中总有乐 还祈求甚么
若永久一起无方 我也懂得难过
已证明 曾发生的不算幻觉

Finding Joy in Sadness

Once, one night, someone in my life,
On parting, spoke so cruelly, saying, "Who in the world is closer to me than you?"
I believed those two seconds of myself, I was once the happiest person.
Happiness is purely coincidence, who cares if it doesn't last forever?
I still remember the feeling of happiness, finding joy in sadness is already considered happiness.
Who falls in love for the sake of loneliness, in the future may be even lonelier?
If I can remember the feeling of suffering, there is always joy in sadness, what more can I ask for?
If being together forever is impossible, I also know how to be sad.
It has been proven that what happened was not an illusion.

You said that every time you see me, your conscience is put to the test.
Passionate love may be a coincidence, friendship can develop forever.
I still remember the feeling of happiness, finding joy in sadness is already considered happiness.
Who falls in love for the sake of loneliness, in the future may be even lonelier?
If I can remember the feeling of suffering, there is always joy in sadness, what more can I ask for?
If being together forever is impossible, I also know how to be sad.
It has been proven that what happened was not an illusion.
Can you tell me that you once truly loved me?
And you have truly stopped loving me, what more can I ask for?
I still remember the feeling of happiness, finding joy in sadness is already considered happiness.
Who falls in love for the sake of loneliness, in the future may be even lonelier?
If I can remember the feeling of suffering, there is always joy in sadness, what more can I ask for?
If being together forever is impossible, I also know how to be sad.
It has been proven that what happened was not an illusion.
