Paroles et traduction Yoon Mirae - Black Happiness

Black Happiness

유난히 검었었던 어릴 적 내 살색
사람들은 손가락질 해 내 mommy한테
내 poppy는 흑인 미군
여기저기 수근 대 또 이러쿵 저러쿵
내 눈가에는 항상 눈물이 고여
어렸지만 엄마의 슬픔이 보여
모든 게 나 때문인 것 같은 죄책감에
하루에 수십 번도 넘게 난 내 얼굴을 씻어내

하얀 비누를 내 눈물에 녹여내
까만 피부를 난 속으로 원망해
Why, oh why 세상은 나를 판단해
세상이 미워질 때마다 두 눈을 꼭 감아
아빠가 선물해 준 음악에 내 혼을 담아
볼륨을 타고 높이 높이 날아가 저 멀리
La musique
It goes on and on and on

세상이 미울 때, 음악이 날 위로해주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
세상에 미울 때, 음악이 날 일으켜주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

시간은 흘러 난 열세 살
내 살색은 짙은 갈색 음악은 색깔을 몰라
파란 불을 알려줘 난 음악을 인도해
서로에 기대 외로움을 위로해
그러던 어느 날 내게 찾아온 기회
Microphone을 잡은 난 어느새 무대 위에
다시 만나 달라 하며 음악과 작별해
열세 살은 열아홉 난 거짓말을 해야 해

내 얼굴엔 하얀 화장 가면을 써 달래
엄마 핏줄은 okay 하지만 아빠는 안 돼 매년
내 나인 열아홉 멈춘 시간에 감옥에 갇힌
나는 내 안에 기대 너무나도 참혹
한 하루하루를 보내며 그들의 경고를 무시하고
음악이 그립다고 탈출을 시도해 no
붙잡힌 나는 밤마다 기도했고
드디어 난 이제 자유의 몸 it's on

세상이 미울 때, 음악이 날 위로해주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
세상에 미울 때, 음악이 날 일으켜주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

My sweet little girl, Tasha
I guess I can give you a little skit on life I guess
Talk about the good times and the bad times
You gotta be able to blend both of those in your life
You have to know and you have to believe with all your heart
That things will always get better
So just keep your head up
Keep your faith and be strong
Never let nobody tell you that you can't do it
Because it can be done

세상이 미울 때, 음악이 날 위로해주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
세상에 미울 때, 음악이 날 일으켜주네
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

Sometimes it's hard to see all the good things in your life
And I know it hurts sometimes but you gotta be willing to try
Sometimes it's hard to see all the good things in your life
But you gotta be strong and you gotta hold on and love yourself

Black Happiness

My skin, unusually dark when I was young
People pointed their fingers at my mommy
My daddy was a black American soldier
They muttered here and there, this and that
My eyes were always filled with tears
I could see my mother's sadness, even though I was young
Feeling guilty as if it were all my fault
I washed my face dozens of times a day

Dissolving white soap in my tears
I resented my dark skin deep down
Why, oh why does the world judge me
Whenever I hated the world, I would close my eyes tight
Pouring my soul into the music my father gave me
Riding the volume, flying higher and higher, far away
La musique
It goes on and on and on

When the world is hateful, music comforts me
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
When the world is hateful, music lifts me up
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

Time passed, and I was thirteen
My skin was a deep brown; music knows no color
Show me the blue flame; I will lead the music
Leaning on each other, we comforted our loneliness
Then one day, an opportunity came knocking
I grabbed the microphone, and before I knew it, I was on stage
Saying, "Meet me again," I bid farewell to music
Thirteen became nineteen; I had to lie

I put on a white makeup mask to appease my face
My mother's bloodline is okay, but my father's isn't; every year
My age, nineteen, stopped in time, imprisoned
I am within myself, a monster
Spending each day, ignoring their warnings
Missing music so much, I tried to escape, no
I was caught, and every night I prayed
And finally, I am now free; it's on

When the world is hateful, music comforts me
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
When the world is hateful, music lifts me up
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

My sweet little girl, Tasha

Keep your faith and be strong
Never let nobody tell you that you can't do it
Because it can be done

When the world is hateful, music comforts me
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself
When the world is hateful, music lifts me up
So you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on and love yourself

Sometimes it's hard to see all the good things in your life
And I know it hurts sometimes but you gotta be willing to try
Sometimes it's hard to see all the good things in your life
But you gotta be strong and you gotta hold on and love yourself
