男人哭吧不是罪 Cry Men Cry, It's Not a Crime [Singable Translation]

Updated: Jan 12



when i was still a boy

they said I should not ever cry at all


when I became a man

i promised to never live with regret


within these limits I pace back and forth

my heart’s on the tight rope of life on replay


every night and day wear a mask till we sleep

i’m completely worn out


when it is time to cry

my eyes have completely forgotten how


when it is time to feel

my heart cannot feel anything at all


this pressure i'm under, i feel so tired

beginning to feel like it is hard to breathe

beginning to drop defenses

slowly feeling

slowly shed tears


we can cry men, cry men, cry men, there’s no shame

all the strongest ones among us need to rest


underneath that smile’s hiding heartbreak

why do people have to live in this way


you can cry man, cry man, cry man, it's okay

taste the flavor of your long banished tears


the rain has its own kind of beauty

take this opportunity, it’s precious

just cry it out

 

when it is time to cry

my eyes have completely forgotten how


when it is time to feel

my heart cannot feel anything at all


this pressure i'm under, i feel so tired

beginning to feel like it is hard to breathe

beginning to drop defenses

slowly feeling

slowly shed tears


we can cry men, cry men, cry men, there’s no shame

all the strongest ones among us need to rest


underneath that smile’s hiding heartbreak

why do people have to live in this way


you can cry man, cry man, cry man, it's okay

taste the flavor of your long banished tears


the rain has its own kind of beauty

take this opportunity, it’s precious

let it all out

it's no crime

 

we can cry men, cry men, cry men, there’s no shame

all the strongest ones among us need to rest


underneath that smile’s hiding heartbreak

why do people have to live in this way


you can cry man, cry man, cry man, it's okay

taste the flavor of your long banished tears


the rain has its own kind of beauty

take this opportunity, it’s precious

cry your heart out
