Why am I not born a woman ?

{ 草蜢 } Grasshopper.
An ex-HongKong boy band form by 2 brothers & 1 friend. They are very famous in the Asian music scene during the late 1980s & early 1990s. I still remember when CDs were first invented. My very first CD was them. Of course I bought the Chinese version, and that time CD cost S$39.90 !!!

While I was on my way home, don't know why this song suddenly came into my head. I could only remember a bit of the chorus. While humming it it began to strike a chord in my heart. I guess sub-consciously, I am trying to tell myself something. No matter how much I want to cry, a man natural instinct would be to suppress that feeling. Like what this song has written. It's natural, when tears are forming in your eyes, before it actually overflowed, it's being suppress back inside. God has created a special tears gland for man. Ha Ha... sigh...

Why am I not born a woman???
怎么天生不是女人 - 草蜢


Trying to translate in the best way I could.
This is Cantonese, true meaning may be distorted.

Why am I not born a woman?
(Grasshoppers band)
even though when you're gone, there should be no crying
even though when I'm alone, I should keep myself occupied
even in breakup, I should still say a word of blessing

trying my best to to be tough
this manly glamour has departed
no matter how difficult this may be, no explanation is needed

even when I'm hurt more than you
there's no need to force myself to leave
i will act as if it's natural

natural in such a way, the world think I'm fine
letting you know, it's alright to feel hurt
the tears that have drop, who will forgive, I don't dare desire

no matter what i will had to endure
by dragging on i will become an enemy of myself
even though i felt like crying, worst than a woman in hurt

why am i not born a woman
why i can't allow my tears to fall
no matter how hurt i am
i should not let you worry

怎么天生不是女人 - 草蜢
即使失恋不能痛哭
即使空虚仍能找个节目
即使分手都要给你说祝福

好好表演坚强角色
轻轻走开是男子汉魅力
即使委屈都决不会再解释

* 就算伤得比你伤
离去亦不必牵强
至少假装作潇洒
潇洒给这世界去欣赏
受了伤亦是平常 流泪那模样
谁又会原谅不敢妄想

# 即使不忍只能强忍
拖拖拉拉是男子汉敌人
即使想哭想哭得比女人伤心
怎么天生不是女人
怎么不可让唇边有泪痕
即使伤心怎么可需要你担心
Repeat *##
