I learned to laugh inside my tears,
I learned to be human in my most wretched years...
I learned to feel when I wasn't being touched,
I learned to give when I didn't have much.

I learned to be warm when I was cold...
Living real humbly1 , I learned to be bold2 .
I learned to live when I thought it better to die...
I learned to laugh when all I could do was cry.

I learned from below what it's like up above...
While I was hated, I learned how to love.
It was on the move that I learned how to rest,
While at my worst, I learned my best.

It is when I was lost that I learned that I am.
I learned to be rich when I had no money...
These things seem so serious, but hey...
Isn't life funny!?

在泪水中，我学会了欢笑
在最悲惨的日子里，我学会了做真正的人
当没什么可以感动我的时候，我学会了去感受
当并不富足时，我学会了给予

寒冷的时候，我学会了温暖自己
真正卑微地活着，我学会了无所畏惧
万念俱灰的时候，我学会了生存
惟一能做的就是哭泣时，我学会了欢笑

我从最低层，学会了什么叫高尚
当被憎恨时，我学会了怎样去爱
颠沛流离中，我学会了怎样放松
糟糕透顶时，我学到了最好的一课

当我迷失的时候，我才了解我是谁
一文不名的时候，我学会了如何富有
这些事情似乎很严肃，然而……
生活是不是真的很奇妙！？
