男人哭吧不是罪 [Nán rén kū ba bù shì zuì] [English translation]

When I was younger,

they told me that I should never cry

When I have grown,

I faced the mirror and told myself never to look back

Restlessly pacing around a single place,

my heart ceaselessly spiraling around the string of fate

Every day and every night I go to sleep with my mask still on,

with my heart and mind crippled from fatigue

I am supposed to be crying,

and yet I forget how to make the tears come out

I am supposed to regret,

and yet I forget how to twist my heart in sorrow

This shapeless weight presses down on me to brink of exhaustion,

it's beginning to get difficult to breathe

I slowly begin to lower my guard,

slowly begin to regret,

slowly let the tears trickle down my face

Cry, cry, cry, man! It is not a crime,

even the strongest person has the right to be stressed

If all that lies behind your smile is heartbreak,

there is no need for any man to keep up so awkward a façade

Cry, cry, cry man! It is not a crime,

taste the by now foreign sensation of tears running down your face

Even the rain is still a form of beauty,

you may as well take this opportunity,

and cry as hard as you can

I am supposed to be crying,

and yet I forget how to make the tears come out

I am supposed to regret,

and yet I forget how to twist my heart in sorrow

This shapeless weight presses down on me to brink of exhaustion,

it's beginning to get difficult to breathe

I slowly begin to lower my guard,

slowly begin to regret,

slowly let the tears trickle down my face

Cry, cry, cry, man! It is not a crime,

even the strongest person has the right to be stressed

If all that lies behind your smile is heartbreak,

there is no need for any man to keep up so awkward a façade

Cry, cry, cry man! It is not a crime,

taste the by now foreign sensation of tears running down your face

Even the rain is still a form of beauty,

you may as well take this opportunity,

and cry as hard as you can
