——歌词欣赏——
Smile though your heart is aching
哪怕心伤,勿忘欢喜
Smile even though it’s breaking
至于心碎,勿忘欢愉
When there are clouds in the sky’ you’ll get by
当你的笑容拂过心底的恐惧悲伤
If you smile through your fear and sorrows
相信我,那阴云也终将离逝
Smile and maybe tomorrow
微笑吧,也许就是明日
You’ll see the sune shining through for you
就是你看到阳光为你绚烂的时候Light up your face with gladness
用快乐点亮你的面容
Hide every trace of sadness
然后将一切哀愁掩去
Although a tear may be ever so near
尽管伤痕咫尺于心
That’s the time you must keep on trying
然而越是这样,请越不要放弃
Smile’ what’s the use of crying?
微笑吧,哭泣究竟为何?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
终有日,一切归于人生时,仍是值得的
If you just smile
只要你笑对人生。
当你的笑容拂过心底的恐惧悲伤
If you smile through your fear and sorrows
相信我,那阴云也终将离逝
Smile and maybe tomorrow
微笑吧,也许就是明日
You’ll see the sune shining through for you
就是你看到阳光为你绚烂的时候Light up your face with gladness
用快乐点亮你的面容
Hide every trace of sadness
然后将一切哀愁掩去
Although a tear may be ever so near
尽管伤痕咫尺于心
That’s the time you must keep on trying
然而越是这样,请越不要放弃
Smile’ what’s the use of crying?
微笑吧,哭泣究竟为何?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
终有日,一切归于人生时,仍是值得的
If you just smile
只要你笑对人生。
That’s the time you must keep on trying
朋友啊,越是落寞,请越不要放弃
Smile’ what’s the use of crying?
就微笑吧,何必哭泣…
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
终有日,一切归于人生时,都是值得的
If you just smile
只要你笑对人生。
