Lyrics and translation 周柏豪 - 米飯香 (國)

米飯香 (國)

樹欲靜而風不止 子欲養而親不待
為何我越知道不該遺忘越會遺忘
老樹的葉綠又黃 老家的月缺又圓
為何我總以為一切如常卻會無常

歲月可比少年狂
我已變成你的夢想
可是你不能變成我的哀傷
生命浩浩瀚瀚卻為生活匆匆忙忙
只能希望別來無恙

就讓我們證明愛裡沒有遺憾
可祝福老少平安 千萬不可為時已晚
最簡單的就是最美好的時光
回家的路程有多長
還有多少次一起嚐米飯香

歲月不夠思念狂
我在不在你的身旁
可是你一直都在我的心上
是否多了滄桑是否依然健健康康
到底什麼不消亡

就讓我們證明愛裡沒有遺憾
好好說我的近況 慢慢享受你的熱湯
最簡單的就是最美好的時光
回家的路程有多長
還有多少次一起嚐米飯香

樹欲靜而風不止 子欲養而親不待
難道最後只是為了明白生死茫茫
老樹的葉綠又黃 老家的月缺又圓
難道最後只有自己燒晚飯自己嚐

The Fragrance of Rice

A tree yearns for stillness but the wind does not cease; a child wants to be filial but the parents are no more.
Why is it that the more I know I should not forget, the more I do?
The leaves of the old tree turn green and yellow again; the moon of my hometown waxes and wanes again.
Why do I always think that everything is normal, yet it can change so suddenly?

Time flies by like a young man in his prime.
I have already become your dream.
But you cannot become my sorrow.
Life is vast and boundless, yet for survival, we are always in a hurry.
I can only hope that all is well with you.

Let us prove that there are no regrets in love.
May you bless the young and the old with peace; it should never be too late.
The simplest things are the best of times.
How long is the journey home?
How many more times will we share the fragrance of rice together?

Time is not enough to miss you intensely.
Am I in your thoughts?
Yet you are always in my heart.
Have you aged? Are you still healthy?
What is it that never fades away, after all?

Let us prove that there are no regrets in love.
Tell me about your recent life; let me slowly savor your warm soup.
The simplest things are the best of times.
How long is the journey home?
How many more times will we share the fragrance of rice together?

A tree yearns for stillness but the wind does not cease; a child wants to be filial but the parents are no more.
Is it that we only come to understand the vastness of life and death in the end?
The leaves of the old tree turn green and yellow again; the moon of my hometown waxes and wanes again.
Will I end up cooking and eating my rice alone?
