Текст и перевод песни 林奕匡 - 買不到的快樂

買不到的快樂

搬屋 四十對鞋怎處置
發現到 書架裡 從來拆也未拆幾套書
新衣 宴會裡才穿一次
過期牛奶 廚房中倒過了幾次

填海區中發現每張海報是廢紙
全部買下了事後如此 送走一刻方會知

有過已不算太少
物件這麼多更缺少
每天要捐出我分與秒 換來玩票
其實奢侈不過要我青春速銷
發覺需要更少
買到的東西太渺小
在這垃圾堆給我買光了
換到只有煩擾
一箱箱清理之後 方知感覺才重要

裝飾 發現已塵封一遍
貴重的 相機裡 從無拍攝下半張照片
執屋 理順我人生一遍
耗盡時間 無非想擁有每間店

拿不走的快樂也許比較實際點
其實放下了玩具零件至少空出一片天

有過已不算太少
物件這麼多更缺少
在這垃圾堆給我買光了
換到只有煩擾
一箱箱清理之後 方知感覺才重要

有過已不算太少
物件這麼多更缺少
每天要捐出我分與秒 換來玩票
其實奢侈不過要我青春速銷

發覺需要更少
買到的東西太渺小
讓我在這刻感到我需要
玩意多過程少
減得的都己減掉 不捨的愛才重要

Happiness That Can't Be Bought

Moving house, what to do with forty pairs of shoes
Discovering the books on the shelves, I've never actually read a single one
New clothes, only worn once for parties
Expired milk, poured out time and again in the kitchen

Discovering in the reclaimed area that every poster is just wastepaper
Bought them all, only to realise when they're gone

What I've had is already quite a lot
The more things I have, the less I feel I have
Every day, I give away my minutes and seconds in exchange for fun
In fact, the greatest extravagance is to use up my youth
I realise I need less
The things I buy are too trivial
In this garbage dump, you've bought me everything
Only to bring me annoyance
After clearing out box after box, I finally realise that feelings are what matter

Decorations, I discover, have been gathering dust all along
Expensive camera, never even taken half a photo with it
Tidying up my house, I sort out my life
Wasting time, just wanting to own everything

The happiness that can't be bought is perhaps more practical
In fact, by putting down my toys, I at least free up some space

What I've had is already quite a lot
The more things I have, the less I feel I have
In this garbage dump, you've bought me everything
Only to bring me annoyance
After clearing out box after box, I finally realise that feelings are what matter

What I've had is already quite a lot
The more things I have, the less I feel I have
Every day, I give away my minutes and seconds in exchange for fun
In fact, the greatest extravagance is to use up my youth

I realise I need less
The things I buy are too trivial
Let me feel what I need right now
Too many toys, not enough time
I've gotten rid of what I can, and the love I cherish is what matters
