Fragrance of Rice

Translation From Jay's song...

Dao Xiang / Fragrance of Rice


If you have too many grievances towards this world

Having fallen, you lose the courage to go on

Why do people want to be so weak and fallen?

Please turn on the television now and see for yourself

So many people bravely fighting for their lives

Shouldn't we be content,

Cherish all we have, even if we don't possess them

I still remember you said home is your only castle

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

Smile, I know the childhood dreams 

Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away, escaping 

You will always find serenity in folk songs 

Go home, return to the sweet past

Don't give up so easily, just like what I said,

If the dream can't be reached, then just follow another dream

Add bright colours to your own life

Paint love in your favourite colour

Smile, fame and success isn't the aim

Be happy. That is the whole meaning

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

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

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

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

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

Cherish everything, even if we don't possess them

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