稻香 - 周杰伦 (Rice Aroma / Dao Xiang - Jay Chou) lyrics translation

Chinese Title: 稻香
hanyu pinyin: Dào Xiāng
English Title: Rice Aroma
Composer / Lyrics / Singer: Jay Chou (周杰伦 / 周杰倫)
English Lyrics Translation: Xueyun

If you harbour too many grudges against the world
You'll lose the courage to pick yourself up when you fall
Why do people choose to be weak and defeated?
Are you aware
that they are many people soldiering on despite difficulties in life
Shouldn't we be contented
and cherish all that we have and all that we don't

*Home was your only sanctuary
Running along the river towards the aroma of the rice,
I smile as I recall my childhood dreams
Hold back your tears and run away with the fireflies
Find solace in the songs you grow up with.
Return home and return to the happiness you once had

Don't give up easily. Take my advice,
if you fail to realise your dream, then chase another one
Fill your life with colours
Paint love in your favourite shade
Smile because material success is not the ultimate goal
but your happiness in life
My childhood happiness has finally returned to me

Happiness is chasing after dragonflies in the fields
and getting stung by bees while trying to steal from the orchard.
Leaning against the scarecrow, I fell asleep as I listen to the sound of the wind
The music of the guitar turns melodious when the crickets sang along.
Do not be afraid as the sun is shining down the path ahead.
Cherish all that you have and alll that you don't.

Repeat * twice

稻香 - 周杰倫
詞：周杰倫 曲：周杰倫

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
請你打開電視看看
多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我們是不是該知足
珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡 隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
微微笑 小時候的夢我知道
不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

不要這麼容易就想放棄 就像我說的
追不到的夢想 換個夢不就得了
為自己的人生鮮艷上色 先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
笑一個吧 功成名就不是目的
讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
童年的紙飛機 現在終於飛回我手裡

所謂的那快樂 赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了 誰在偷笑呢
我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
哦 哦 午後吉它在蟲鳴中更清脆
哦 哦 陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有
