稻 香 - Fragrant Rice

Finally a song not about love from Zhou Jie Lun.

You know how Singapore advertisement for New Moon rice is always around family.

The main meaning of the song is about family being the treasure.

I have looked for the translation but i felt none of them were accurate enough. Anyways, here are the translation for the first few lines. (i've edited afew lines cause the paraphrasing was wrong...)

"If you have too many complains in this world
Once you fall down, you won't have a courage to move forward
Why are humans so fragile
Please switch on the TV and watch
How many people try hard and brave to move forward just because of living
Shouldn't we feel contented
Treasure what you have now, even though you don't actually own everything

Remember back then you said home is the only castle
Fragrance rice, as the river continue flowing
Slightly smile, dream of childhood, I know
Don't cry, let firefly bring you running.
Forever rely on village folk song
Go home, back to the beginning of beauty
Don't give up so fast
Like what I said
The dream you can't achieve, just exchange it, you got it"


Can go catch the video in youtube if you're curious enough.

It's 4pm, time for me to go gai gai (walk walk).
