af Esben Maaløe
Smil selvom stormen raser
smil om så din verden braser
vinterligt mismod i mørke bli’r skabt
Men i smil fødes lys og farver
liv smilets glæde arver
tør tårens stribe af din kind
og lad smilet komme …
Ind, der hvor hjertet banker
spredt bliver alle tunge tanker
dåren er den der formørker sit sind
Luk nu op for din glædes brusen
mærk kærlighedens susen
tøv ikke så meget som en stund
så kysser jeg din …
Den originale tekst på engelsk – af John Turner og Geoffrey Parsons
Smile though your heart is achingSmile even though it’s breakingWhen there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get byIf you smile through your fear and sorrowSmile and maybe tomorrowYou’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladnessHide every trace of sadnessAlthough a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on tryingSmile, what’s the use of crying?You’ll find that life is still worthwhileIf you just smile
That’s the time you must keep on tryingSmile, what’s the use of crying?You’ll find that life is still worthwhileIf you just smile
