Lyrics and translation

Original

It's a beautiful day. People around me move and sway.
Birds in the palm trees call my name. All I can feel is down, down, down.
If I go somewhere, drink 'til I grow wings, find someone to help me forget things.
That brand new ain't gonna help me now, now, now.
And if I feel like crying, it's just a temporary low.
Don't try to comfort me. Let it go, let it go, let it go.
'Cause I don't know why some days get a hold of me. Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
I could try, it don't seem no use to me. Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
So I'm gonna ride this low, see where it takes me.
Ebbs and flows, don't try to save me. I'm all right. My world keeps spinning round and round.
So if you see me crying, I don't need no consolation.
I just need some time.
And I know that I'm gonna be fine but I can't say why some days get a hold of me.
Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
I could try, it don't seem no use to me. Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
Well, all I need is time to breathe and I will be all right.
Yeah, all I need is time to breathe and I will be all right.
So no matter how this goes, ain't gonna cry and I ain't gonna whine about it no more.
Please tell me why some days get a hold of me. Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
And I could try, it don't seem no use to me. Sometimes it's hard to just be happy.
Sometimes, oh, it's hard, hard to just be happy.
Oh, my darling, well, hell, son, I'm ready.
Oh, my hell, son, I try so hard. It's hard to just be happy.
All I need is time to breathe and I will be all right.
All I need is time to breathe and I will be all right
