稻香

A new song from Jay Chou's latest album 魔杰座. Not only is the melody nice but the lyric is also meaningful.
For those who do not know Chinese, do not worry. I have added pinyin and translation so that it will be easier for you to read it. ;)



稻香(Dao xiang)

词:周杰伦
曲:周杰伦

对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zou
为什麼人要这麼的脆弱 堕落
wei shen me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo
请你打开电视看看
qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zou xia qu
我们是不是该知足
wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
随著稻香河流继续奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
回家吧 回到最初的美好
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao

不要这麼容易就想放弃 就像我说的
bu yao zhe me rong yi jiu xiang fang qi jiu xiang wo shuo de
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
zhui bu dao de meng xiang huan ge meng bu jiu de le
为自己的人生鲜艳上色 先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色
wei zi ji de ren sheng xian yan shang se xian ba ai tu shang xi huan de yan se
笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的
xiao yi ge ba gong cheng ming jiu bu shi mu di
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
rang zi ji kuai le kuai le zhe cai jiao zuo yi yi
童年的纸飞机 现在终於飞回我手里
tong nian de zhi fei ji xian zai zhong yu fei hui wo shou li

所谓的那快乐
suo wei de kuai le
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
chi jiao zai tian li zhui qing ting zhui dao lei le
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了 谁在偷笑呢
tou zhai shui guo bei mi feng gei ding dao pa le shui zai tou xiao ne
我靠著稻草人吹著风唱著歌睡著了
wo kao zhe dao cao ren chui zhe feng chang zhe ge shui zhao le
哦 哦 午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
o o wu hou ji ta zai chong ming zhong geng qing cui
哦 哦 阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
o o yang guang sa zai lu shang jiu bu pa xin sui
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
随著稻香河流继续奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
回家吧 回到最初的美好
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
随著稻香河流继续奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
回家吧 回到最初的美好
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao


Translation:
If you have too many complaints about this world,
You've fallen down and don't dare to continue forward
Why must you become this weak, this degraded?
Please turn on your TV and see
How many people are struggling to courageously go forward.
Shouldn't we be contented with what we have?
Cherish all even if you don't possess it.

Still remember when you said home was your only palace.
Running through the fragrant rice fields and flowing rivers,
Happily smiling, I know these childhood dreams.
Don't cry. Let the fireflies take you away,
Leaning forever on the countryside´s ballad.
Go back home. Go back to the initial beauty.

That care-free happiness,
Barefooted in the fields chasing after dragonflies until tired out,
Stealing fruits, making the bees sting until you are frightened. Who was laughing?
I fell asleep resting against the scarecrows blowing in the wind, singing songs.
Wo Wo In the afternoon the guitar is clearer in the midst of the bugs singing.
Wo Wo Sunshine spills onto the street, making me not afraid of heartbreak.
Cherish it all even if you don't possess it.

Still remember when you said home was your only palace.
Running through the fragrant rice fields and flowing rivers,
Happily smiling, I know these childhood dreams.
Don't cry. Let the fireflies take you away,
Leaning forever on the countryside´s ballad.
Go back home. Go back to the initial beauty. (x2)

Hi-tech Towel



Taken at a beach resort in Desaru. I put this in a new post because I think it's worthy of it. Now, can you spot what's wrong with it?? XD

To The Beach



Finally get to go to the beach!! I've been waiting for the day to the beach since the exam week. haha! Sorry roommate, I went without you since it was a sudden plan by my parents. We went to the beach which are very very familiar to us. It was one of the destinations I visited most (after Genting Highland, which remains at the top of my "the place I visited most" list) -- Desaru.

We always went to Desaru when my dad would borrow tents from his school. I still remembered how the tents are usually 'holey'. Imagine how it's like when it rains... >_<


A little hut by the beach


Looking out at the sea


This is just too cute!! Daddy & Mummy playing "Indian dance". XD
