你不是真正的快樂

• By: 五月天

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

人群中哭著

Crying in the crowd

你只想變成透明的顏色

You just want to become a transparent color

你再也不會 夢或痛或心動了

You will no longer dream, feel pain, or have your heart moved

你已經決定了 你已經決定了

You have already decided, you have already decided

你靜靜忍著

You quietly endure

緊緊把昨天在拳心握著

Tightly holding onto yesterday in your fist

而回憶越是甜 就是越傷人了

And the sweeter the memories, the more they hurt

越是在手心留下

The deeper the scars left in your palm

密密麻麻深深淺淺的刀割

Deep and shallow cuts everywhere

你不是真正的快樂

You are not truly happy

你的笑只是你穿的保護色

Your smile is just the camouflage you wear

你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了

You decided not to hate, and also decided not to love

把你的靈魂

Locking your soul

關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

In a shell that is forever locked

這世界笑了

The world is laughing

於是你合群的一起笑了

So you laugh along with the crowd

當生存是規則不是你的選擇

When survival is a rule, not your choice

於是你含著眼淚

So you hold back tears

飄飄蕩盪跌跌撞撞的走著

Wandering and stumbling along

你不是真正的快樂

You are not truly happy

你的笑只是你穿的保護色

Your smile is just the camouflage you wear

你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了

You decided not to hate, and also decided not to love

把你的靈魂

Locking your soul

關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

In a shell that is forever locked

你不是真正的快樂

You are not truly happy

你的傷從不肯完全的癒合

Your wounds never fully heal

我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河

I stand on your left side, yet it feels like across the galaxy

難道就真的抱著遺憾

Is it really just holding onto regrets

一直到老了

Until we grow old

然後才後悔著

And then regretting it

...

...

你不是真正的快樂

You are not truly happy

你的笑只是你穿的保護色

Your smile is just the camouflage you wear

你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了

You decided not to hate, and also decided not to love

把你的靈魂

Locking your soul

關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

In a shell that is forever locked

你不是真正的快樂

You are not truly happy

你的傷從不肯完全的癒合

Your wounds never fully heal

我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河

I stand on your left side, yet it feels like across the galaxy

難道就真的抱著遺憾

Is it really just holding onto regrets

一直到老了

Until we grow old

你值得真正的快樂

You deserve true happiness

你應該脫下你穿的保護色

You should take off the camouflage you wear

為什麽失去了 還要被懲罰呢

Why should you be punished for what you've lost?

能不能就讓悲傷 全部結束在此刻

Can we let the sadness all end at this moment?

重新開始活著

And start living again

...

Grammar:

• 你只想變成透明的顏色

  ➔ `只想 (zhǐ xiǎng) + verb`: only want to, just want to. Indicates a single desire or intention.

  ➔ The sentence means "You only want to become a transparent color". `只想` emphasizes that the desire to become invisible is the character's sole focus.

• 而回憶越是甜 就是越傷人了

  ➔ `越...越... (yuè... yuè...)`: The more... the more.... Expresses a proportional relationship.

  ➔ The sentence means "The sweeter the memories, the more painful they are". It shows the proportional relationship: as the sweetness increases, so does the pain.

• 你不是真正的快樂

  ➔ `不是 (bú shì) + adjective`: not really/truly + adjective. Denies that someone/something genuinely possesses the quality described by the adjective.

  ➔ This sentence means "You are not truly happy". `不是` negates the genuineness of the character's happiness.

• 你的笑只是你穿的保護色

  ➔ `只是 (zhǐ shì)`: only, merely. Used to emphasize that something is nothing more than what it appears to be.

  ➔ The sentence means "Your smile is only the protective color you wear". `只是` emphasizes that the smile is a facade and nothing more.

• 當生存是規則不是你的選擇

  ➔ `是...不是... (shì... bú shì...)`: is... not... This pattern contrasts two concepts, highlighting what something *is* versus what it *is not*.

  ➔ This sentence means "When survival is a rule, not your choice". It contrasts survival as an imposed rule with the possibility of it being a freely made choice.

• 難道就真的抱著遺憾 一直到老了

  ➔ `難道 (nándào) ... 嗎 (ma)?`: Could it be that...? Is it possible that...? Used to express rhetorical questions and often implies disbelief or questioning of a situation.

  ➔ This sentence means "Could it be that we will really hold regrets until we are old?". The use of `難道...嗎?` questions the possibility of living with regrets until old age.

• 為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢

  ➔ `為什麼 (wèi shénme) ... 呢 (ne)?`: Why...? Used to express a question seeking a reason or explanation.

  ➔ The sentence means "Why is it that after losing something, one still has to be punished?". The `為什麼...呢?` structure expresses the speaker's confusion and questioning of the unfairness of the situation.

• 能不能就讓悲傷 全部結束在此刻

  ➔ `能不能 (néng bù néng) ...?`: Can (or cannot)...? Is it possible to...? Used to ask for permission or express a hope or possibility.

  ➔ This sentence means "Can (or cannot) we just let all the sadness end at this moment?". `能不能...?` expresses a plea or hope for an end to the sorrow.
