🌟 English Version

Verse 1
A gentle laugh at just the right time
Can lift the weight from weary souls,
Clean humor flows like pantomime—
It heals instead of digging holes.
The room grows bright when joy takes flight,
And hearts connect in shared delight.

Verse 2
True wit knows when to speak and when
To guard the tender, fragile heart,
It builds up rather than condemn,
A healing balm, a gentle art.
The gift of laughter, pure and kind,
Brings peace to body, soul, and mind.

Song Theme: These verses celebrate the healing power of gentle humor and appropriate laughter—how the right kind of joy at the right moment can lift spirits, connect hearts, and bring genuine peace and restoration to both individuals and communities.
