別取笑我

"別取笑我﹐別給我起別名﹐別把你的快樂建築在我的痛苦."

這是一首我很喜歡的民歌!
它首先收錄於1998年鄉謠歌手Mark Wills專輯Wish You Were Here。
翌年﹐著名民歌組合Peter Paul & Mary亦翻唱此曲
收錄於Songs Of Conscience & Concern專輯中。

Don’t laugh at me - Peter, Paul & Mary
(Covered by Ching Wan on 29.11.2009)

I’m a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
’Cause I have braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

I’m that kid on every playground
Who’s always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin’ to overcome my past
You don’t have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask

Don’t laugh at me
Don’t call me names
Don’t get your pleasure from my pain
In God’s eyes we’re all the same
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me

I’m the beggar on the corner
You’ve passed me on the street
And I wouldn’t be out here beggin’
If I had enough to eat
And don’t think I don’t notice
That our eyes never meet

Don’t laugh at me
Don’t call me names
Don’t get your pleasure from my pain
In God’s eyes we’re all the same
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me

I’m fat, I’m thin,
I’m short, I’m tall
I’m deaf, I’m blind
Hey! Ain't we all!

Don’t laugh at me
Don’t call me names
Don’t get your pleasure from my pain
In God’s eyes we’re all the same
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me

Don’t laugh at me
