[English Translation] The Right To Be Happy (행복할 권리) - Musical 'The Man Who Laughs'

Performed by: Doyoung & cast playing 'Ursus' (2025)

English Lyrics:

[Ursus] Be grateful you survived in that state

Happiness is a privilege for the wealthy

Be content with the scraps of luck others leave behind

Happiness is nothing but a luxury for you

[Gwynplaine] Stop preaching; I don’t need it anymore

[Ursus] You’re the one blinded worse than Dea

A man who loses himself to greed, chasing only money

[Gwynplaine] I don’t want to live like you, father

[Ursus] Accept your fate

[Gwynplaine] Happiness is my rightful claim

I’ll find it with my own hands

[Ursus] We have no right to such a thing

[Ursus] Dea has only you—stay in your place

[Gwynplaine] I’ll protect Dea on my own

The wide world awaits me

[Ursus] All you’ll see is the cold, cruel world

[Ursus] Know your place

[Gwynplaine] I’ll rise even higher

Wealth and fame are waiting for me

[Ursus] Foolish dreams will ruin you

[Gwynplaine] Those words I’ve heard my whole life—

The world is a cruel place

A failed life can only blame the world

[Ursus] The wretches who scarred your face,

Those who abandoned you,

And even the ones who blinded Dea—it’s all the world’s fault

[Ursus] You must accept your fate

[Gwynplaine] Happiness is my rightful claim

[Both] The reason to protect life itself

Not even for a moment should it slip away

The right to be happy, granted by the heavens

The right to dedicate life to happiness
