Paroles et traduction 黃明志 - 笑著回家

笑著回家

今晚睡不著 明天就要返鄉
太多的東西塞滿了行李箱 都裝不完
到銀行領了現鈔 準備好要派的紅包
反復檢查皮夾和背包 帶上胃藥車票和口罩

看 這城市滿目瘡痍 飽受著重創
看似光鮮亮麗的背後 多少人遍體鱗傷
面對太多人情冷暖 不想多談只能去習慣
情緒塞滿 在菸灰缸 借酒撫慰著惆悵

就算面對再多的碰撞 也得要體面風光
就算經歷再多的風霜 也要替換新冬裝
想起了遠方的爹娘 絕不能讓他們失望
把皮鞋擦亮 挺起胸膛 笑著回家

我要笑著回家 回到最初的地方
收起了落寞難堪勉強 盡量不讓自己多想
抬頭笑著回家 回到了我的故鄉
那裡有最天真的浪漫 還有等待著的一桌 年夜飯
微笑著回家 喔

曾經並肩的戰友 多少人已經遠走
為何對人善良 換來的卻是背叛和利用
真心被玩弄 被他嘲諷 最親的人反而被掏空
我 只能將自己武裝 收起了笑容

看 有人相互攻擊 有人背信忘義
平時跟你稱兄道弟 當你困難卻不再有連繫
這社會太擁擠 壓得我快喘不過氣
該後退 還是前進 下一步我該如何繼續

原本想說的話 已經不敢多講
原本在心中的理想 不敢再想 只好健忘
回家的路上 人來人往 拖著疲憊 背著遺憾
將 自己都隱藏 只想一路奔向南方

我要笑著回家 回到最初的地方
收起了落寞難堪勉強 盡量不讓自己多想
抬頭笑著回家 回到了我的故鄉
那裡有最天真的浪漫 還有等待著的一桌

一路往南 我的故鄉
鳥語花香 對我召喚
歷經磨難 椎心的傷
會讓我更堅強

我要笑著回家 回到最初的地方
收起了落寞難堪勉強 盡量不讓自己多想
抬頭笑著回家 回到了我的故鄉
那裡有最天真的浪漫 還有等待著的一桌 年夜飯

沿途的風景依舊 仰望熟悉的天空
親戚朋友 好久不見 新人來舊人已走
對著天公 列祖列宗 獻上供品默默地說 著
保佑爸爸和媽媽 天天都健康珍重

這是我選擇的路 我會好好走
我明白人生的旅途上 有起當然也有落
難免會受挫 痛苦難過 我會學習如何去掙脫
我 家鄉是旅途的盡頭和我所有的寄託

Smiling Home

Tonight I can't sleep, tomorrow I'm going back to my hometown
My luggage is full of things, it's like I can't finish packing
I went to the bank to withdraw some cash, I'm getting ready to give out red envelopes
I've checked my wallet, backpack, and stomach medicine, car tickets, and masks

Look, this city is full of wounds, it's been badly damaged
Behind the glamorous surface, how many people are covered in wounds
I've seen too much of the coldness of humanity, I don't want to talk about it anymore, I can only get used to it
My emotions are overflowing in the ashtray, I use alcohol to comfort my sadness

Even if I face more obstacles, I must be respectable and dignified
Even if I go through more storms, I must change into new winter clothes
Thinking of my parents far away, I must not let them down
I shine my shoes, straighten my chest, and smile as I return home

I want to smile back home, back to my original place
I put away my loneliness, embarrassment, and reluctance, trying not to think too much
I raise my head and smile as I return home, back to my hometown
There is the most innocent romance, and a table of New Year's Eve dinner waiting for me
Smiling back home, oh

The comrades who once fought side by side, how many of them have left
Why should I be kind to people, only to receive betrayal and exploitation in return
My sincerity was played with, I was ridiculed by my closest person
I can only arm myself, I put away my smile

Look, some people attack each other, others betray their trust
Usually they call you brother, but when you're in trouble, they lose contact
This society is too crowded, it's suffocating me
Should I retreat or advance, what should I do next

I didn't say what I wanted to say, I didn't dare to think too much
The ideals in my heart, I didn't dare to think about them anymore, I had to forget them
On the way home, people come and go, dragging their fatigue, carrying regrets
I hide myself, just want to run to the south

I want to smile back home, back to my original place
I put away my loneliness, embarrassment, and reluctance, trying not to think too much
I raise my head and smile as I return home, back to my hometown
There is the most innocent romance, and a table waiting for me

All the way south, my hometown
The birds sing, the flowers bloom
After experiencing hardships, the pain
Will make me stronger

I want to smile back home, back to my original place
I put away my loneliness, embarrassment, and reluctance, trying not to think too much
I raise my head and smile as I return home, back to my hometown
There is the most innocent romance, and a table of New Year's Eve dinner waiting for me

The scenery along the way remains the same, I look up at the familiar sky
Relatives and friends, long time no see, new people come, old people leave
I offer sacrifices to heaven and my ancestors, and say silently
Bless my father and mother, may they be healthy and well

This is the path I have chosen, and I will walk it well
I understand that on the journey of life, there will be ups and downs
Sometimes I may be frustrated and sad, but I will learn to break free
My hometown is the end of my journey and my only hope
