[Lyrics] Jay Chou - Dao Xiang


Woot! Ok, this album is not cheap. 3 digits. And the most expensive album I ever bought in 22 years of life. (Will be for the coming 70 years too *if I live up to 92*)

Album name 魔杰座 (Capricorn) CD of 11 Tracks and Bonus DVD of 2 MVs. I bought the imported album which comes in a metal box (as above) and a Rubik's Cube. Though I don't dare to twist the cube, worrying I won't be able to fix it.



I really like the album cover but the booklet photos were ok only lah, maybe cuz I was expecting very magical pics inside. But the album still rocks. Listening for the first time I find it so so, but upon hearing it a few times (I guess that happens often in many albums) it's pretty cool. Still as 'Jay' as usual.

Personal fave: Dao Xiang, Long Zhan Qi Shi, Hua Hai, Shuo Hao De Xing Fu Ne, Liu Lang Shi Ren, Shi Guang Ji.


Currently, find Dao Xiang very motivating. Nice lyrics. So here it is! Kinda lazy to pinyin it myself , and coincidently found it at fuiyoh.com, with english translation too. I repeat, very DIRECT english translation, so erm, bare with it.

Dao Xiang 稻香
Performed, lyrics & melody by: Jay Chou 周杰伦


dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan

对 这 个 世 界 如 果 你 有 太 多 的 抱 怨

If you have too many complain in this world


die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zou

跌 倒 了 就 不 敢 继 续 往 前 走

Once fall down, you won't have a courage to move forward


wei shen me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo

为 什 么 人 要 这 么 的 脆 弱 堕 落

Why does human so fragile


qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan

请 你 打 开 电 视 看 看

Please switch on the TV and watch


duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zou xia qu

多 少 人 为 生 命 在 努 力 勇 敢 的 走 下 去

How many people try hard and brave to move forward just because of living�


wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu

我 们 是 不 是 该 知 足

Shouldn't we feel enough


zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you

珍 惜 一 切 就 算 没 有 拥 有

Treasure what you have now, even you have nothing you actually own everything�


Chorus:

*hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao

还 记 得 你 说 家 是 唯 一 的 城 堡

Remember back then you said home is the only castle


sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao

随 著 稻 香 河 流 继 续 奔 跑

Fragrance rice, as the river continue flowing


wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao

微 微 笑 小 时 候 的 梦 我 知 道

Slightly smile, dream of childhood, I know


bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao

不 要 哭 让 萤 火 虫 带 著 你 逃 跑

Don't cry, let firefly bring you running.


xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao

乡 间 的 歌 谣 永 远 的 依 靠

Forever rely on village folk song


hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao*

回 家 吧 回 到 最 初 的 美 好

Go home, back to the beginning of beauty



bu yao zhe me rong yi jiu xiang fang qi

不 要 这 么 容 易 就 想 放 弃

Don't give up so fast


jiu xiang wo shuo de

就 像 我 说 的

Like what I said


zhui bu dao de meng xiang huan ge meng bu jiu de le

追 不 到 的 梦 想 换 个 梦 不 就 得 了

The dream you can't achieve, just exchange it, you got it


wei zi ji de ren sheng xian yan shang se

为 自 己 的 人 生 鲜 艳 上 色

Let you life coloured brightly.


xian ba ai tu shang xi huan de yan se

先 把 爱 涂 上 喜 欢 的 颜 色

First, let paint the love with favourite colour


xiao yi ge ba gong cheng ming jiu bu shi mu di

笑 一 个 吧 功 成 名 就 不 是 目 的

Smile, become famous not the purpose


rang zi ji kuai le kuai le zhe cai jiao zuo yi yi

让 自 己 快 乐 快 乐 这 才 叫 做 意 义

Let yourself happy, is more meaningful


tong nian de zhi fei ji

童 年 的 纸 飞 机

Childhood paper plane


xian zai zhong yu fei hui wo shou li

现 在 终 于 飞 回 我 手 里

Finally, now fly back to my hand


suo wei de na kuai le

所 谓 的 那 快 乐

So called happiness


chi jiao zai tian li zhui qing ting zhui dao lei le

赤 脚 在 田 里 追 蜻 蜓 追 到 累 了

Barefoot on (rice)field, catch dragonfly until tired


tou zhai shui guo bei mi feng gei ding dao pa le

偷 摘 水 果 被 蜜 蜂 给 叮 到 怕 了

Pluck fruit, scared being sting by bee


shei zai tou xiao ne

谁 在 偷 笑 呢

Who, laughing, woollen cloth


wo kao zhu dao cao ren chui zhu feng chang zhu ge shui zhao le

我 靠 著 稻 草 人 吹 著 风 唱 著 歌 睡 著 了

I lean against the scarecrow/straw man, blow by the wind, singing and then

sleep


Oh! Oh! wu hou ji ta zai chong ming zhong geng qing cui

哦 哦 午 后 吉 它 在 虫 鸣 中 更 清 脆

Oh! Oh! Afternoon guitar accompany by insect singing make it more melodious


Oh! Oh! yang guang sa zai lu shang jiu bu pa xin sui

哦 哦 阳 光 洒 在 路 上 就 不 怕 心 碎

Oh! Oh! Sunlight shine on the road, don't worry heart will broken


zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you

珍 惜 一 切 就 算 没 有 拥 有

Treasure what you have now, even you have nothing you actually own everything


Repeat Chorus x 2
