笑忘歌 The Song of Laughter and Forgetting

曲:怪獸  詞:阿信
Music by Monster, Lyrics by Ashin

The sky overhead is ours
The setting sun after school’s out is also ours
I won’t concede any more

Singing a song just for us
Making our pain slowly heal
Tomorrow everything will be new again

Youth is sitting hand-in-hand on a never retreating train
One day we’ll be old, as long as we have no regrets we’re ok

Forgetting all that has hurt us, just remembering this song of laughter and forgetting
Back then the sky was so high, the wind so pure, happy from head to toe
We’ve agreed once more to sing this song of laughter and forgetting
In this lifetime all I really want is ordinary happiness, who says that’s not grand enough

I’ve fought with myself
Agreed and disagreed, anyway that’s just how it is
Don’t keep crying any more

How many times do we repeat the same mistakes
How much suffering is not yet behind us
Don’t you still laugh at the thought of it

Youth is life’s experimental period, you make mistakes, but they're worth it
Perhaps one day when singing this song our eyes will fill with hot, wet tears

Forgetting all that has hurt us, just remembering this song of laughter and forgetting
Back then the sky was so high, the wind so pure, happy from head to toe
We’ve agreed once more to sing this song of laughter and forgetting
In this lifetime all I really want is ordinary happiness, who says that’s not grand enough
屋頂的天空是我們的
放學後夕陽也都會是我們的
不會再讓步更多了

唱一首屬於我們的歌
讓我們的傷都慢慢慢的癒合
明天我又會是全新的

青春是手牽手坐上了 永不回頭的火車
總有一天我們都老了 不會遺憾就OK了

傷心的都忘記了 只記得這首笑忘歌
那一年天空很高 風很清澈 從頭到腳趾都快樂
我和你都約好了 要再唱這首笑忘歌
這一生志願只要 平凡快樂 誰說這樣不偉大呢

自己和自己打一架了
想通想不通反正就是這樣了
不會再流淚更多了

有多少錯誤重蹈覆轍
有多少苦痛還不是都過來了
想起來甚至還會笑呢

青春是人生的實驗課 錯也錯得很值得
就算某天唱起這首歌 眼眶會有一點濕熱

傷心的都忘記了 只記得這首笑忘歌
那一年天空很高 風很清澈 從頭到腳趾都快樂
我和你都約好了 要再唱這首笑忘歌
這一生志願只要 平凡快樂 誰說這樣不偉大呢

Notes:  So many of Ashin's compositions are named after books (and movies) that I suspect the title of this song is a reference to Milan Kundera's Book of Laughter and Forgetting (in Chinese, 笑忘錄).  It might not be, of course, but I like to think that it is.  This song is the theme song for Mayday's ad campaign for Hey Song brand sarsaparilla.
