稻香 (Fragrant Rice) by Jay Chou

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨

(If you have too many grievances towards this world)

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走

(Having fallen, you lose the courage to go on)

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落

(Why do people want to be so weak and fallen?)

請你打開電視看看

(Please turn on the television now and see for yourself)

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去

(So many people bravely fighting for their lives)

我們是不是該知足

(Shouldn?t we be content)

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有

(Cherish all we have, even if we don?t possess them)

Chorus:

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡

(I still remember you said home is your only castle)

隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

(Following the paddy fragrance, the flowing stream, I continued running)

微微笑　小時候的夢我知道

(Smile, I know the childhood dreams)

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑

(Don?t cry, let the fireflies take you away, escaping)

鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

(You will always find serenity in folk songs)

回家吧　回到最初的美好

(Go home, return to the sweet past)

不要這麼容易就想放棄　就像我說的

(Don?t give up so easily, just like what I said)

追不到的夢想　換個夢不就得了

(If the dream can?t be reached, then just follow another dream)

為自己的人生鮮艷上色

(Add bright colours to your own life)

先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色

(Paint LOVE in your favourite colour)

笑一個吧　功成名就不是目的

(Smile, fame and success isn?t the aim)

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義

(Be happy. That is the whole meaning)

童年的紙飛機　現在終於飛回我手裡

(Just like how) I finally found my lost childhood innocence)

所謂的那快樂　赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了

(What is happiness? It?s chasing dragonflies in the fields barefooted till we?re exhausted)

偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了　誰在偷笑呢

(Tried to steal fruits but suffered so much beestungs until i am scared.Who's snickering (at me)?)

我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了

(Leaning against the scarecrow, enjoying the wind, singing songs till I fall asleep)

哦　哦　午後吉他在蟲鳴中更清脆

(Oh~ Oh~ In the afternoon, the guitar chords sound more crisp amidst the cries of the insects)

哦　哦　陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎

(Oh~ Oh~ The sunlight shines on the road so there?s no need to fear a heartbreak)

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有

(Cherish everything, even if we don?t possess them)
