Lyrics and translation Joey Yung - 可歌可泣 (Live)




可歌可泣 (Live)
Wail-Worthy and Commendable (Live)
淚無謂被當寶
Tears are not precious
紙巾更缺乏 應該摺好
Tissues are even scarcer, so they should be folded
被遺下便申訴
Complaint when left behind
把矮化的你 推得太高
Exalting you, who are inferior, too high
好友也別被我感染到
My friends shouldn't be infected by me, either
不想掃興便不講更好
I don't want to be a downer, so I'd rather not talk about it
知道世上太多種劫數
I know there are so many ordeals in the world
因失意哭訴 哭得太早
Weeping because of disappointment, crying too soon
還在世 被風沙刮損 不須給安慰
Still living, scratched by the sand and wind, I don't need comfort
情很細 誰能大過我世界
Love is so small, who can be greater than my world?
你細過世界 未放下便放低
You're smaller than the world, let go before you let down
可泣的不要了 可歌的不見了
I don't want what's deplorable, and what's commendable is gone
被強逼開了竅
Forced to be enlightened
可歌可泣愛了 可觀的只有笑
I loved what was commendable and deplorable, and all I can see is laughter
能確保心跳才重要
Ensuring a heartbeat is what's important
低唱悲歌也都無謂高調
It's pointless to sing a sad song in a pretentious way
但求三餐不缺少
I just want to have three meals a day
都幾歲了 不需要照料
I'm old enough, I don't need to be taken care of
淚無效便要忍
Tears are useless, so I must endure
即使發洩後得到快感
Even if I feel better after letting it out
為無道義的你
For you, who are unjust
怎可惹得我知己痛心
How could you make my confidant heartbroken?
經過 當做未抹的腳印
I'll pretend it's a footprint that was never wiped away
將心癢當做肌膚敏感
I'll pretend my heartache is just sensitive skin
一吻 兌換兩巴掌教訓
A kiss, in exchange for two slaps of discipline
不可以膽怯只好勇敢
I can't be timid, I have to be brave
還在世 被風沙刮損 不須給安慰
Still living, scratched by the sand and wind, I don't need comfort
情很細 誰能大過我世界
Love is so small, who can be greater than my world?
就算愛過你 問你又是哪位
Even if I loved you, who are you again?
可泣的不要了 可歌的不見了
I don't want what's deplorable, and what's commendable is gone
被強逼開了竅
Forced to be enlightened
可歌可泣愛了 可觀的只有笑
I loved what was commendable and deplorable, and all I can see is laughter
能確保心跳才重要
Ensuring a heartbeat is what's important
低唱悲歌也都無謂高調
It's pointless to sing a sad song in a pretentious way
但求三餐不缺少
I just want to have three meals a day
一哭慣了 怎知你渺小
I'm used to crying, but how small you are
給關懷便縱慣我 會更易記起當初
If you show me compassion, you'll spoil me, and I'll remember the past even more
沒什麼一笑便過
There's nothing I can't get over with a laugh
也至少把某些遺憾化為玩笑好過
At least I can turn some regrets into jokes, which is better
多苦都可以笑 多苦都只有笑
I can laugh no matter how bitter it is, I can only laugh
誰也不想打擾
I don't want to bother anyone
多感激心會跳 記掛你可謂無聊
I'm so grateful that my heart is beating. It's boring to care about you
戲票總會如玩票
Movie tickets will always be like playing around
可泣的不要了 可歌的不見了
I don't want what's deplorable, and what's commendable is gone
被強逼開了竅
Forced to be enlightened
可歌可泣愛了 可觀的只有笑
I loved what was commendable and deplorable, and all I can see is laughter
能確保心跳才重要
Ensuring a heartbeat is what's important
即使跌低也都無謂高調
Even if I fall, it's pointless to be pretentious
但求三餐不缺少
I just want to have three meals a day
都幾歲了 不需要照料
I'm old enough, I don't need to be taken care of
可以歌為何哭
Why cry when you can sing?
不需要等結局該滿足
There's no need to wait for the ending to be satisfied
若嫌未曾受傷夠
If you think you haven't been hurt enough
竟想到報復 只恐折福
Think of revenge, only to be punished
