[Verse 1]
On the way home, I stopped by the supermarket.
I bought chicken thighs and soybeans.
I put ice from the ice maker into a plastic bag.
It was scorching hot outside, so I used it to cool the meat.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then I stopped by the greengrocer.
I bought eggplant and pumpkin.
[Chorus 1]
“Continuing the rhythm from the halfway mark,”
“Shaping up the wet soil before the summer dark.”
“Protecting the sweet potato, keeping them alive,”
“Watching the happy hill and the heavy roots thrive.”
“Finishing row number one, the whole track is clear.”
“Rocking the fully healed bone with nothing to fear!”
[Verse 2]
So my backpack was heavy.
I went home, covered my bike with a sheet,
Chilled the meat in the refrigerator,
Threw the ice down the drain.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I made instant coffee with water,
Drank two cups to quench my thirst.
[Chorus 2]
“Continuing the rhythm from the halfway mark,”
“Shaping up the wet soil before the summer dark.”
“Protecting the sweet potato, keeping them alive,”
“Watching the happy hill and the heavy roots thrive.”
“Finishing row number one, the whole track is clear.”
“Rocking the fully healed bone with nothing to fear!”
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
The room was so hot it made me dizzy.
I changed into my usual clothes and
Went outside. The sunlight was dazzling.
Sweat beaded on the plastic lenses of my glasses.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I showed the lush green rice seedlings.
To someone just passing by.
[Chorus 3]
“Continuing the rhythm from the halfway mark,”
“Shaping up the wet soil before the summer dark.”
“Protecting the sweet potato, keeping them alive,”
“Watching the happy hill and the heavy roots thrive.”
“Finishing row number one, the whole track is clear.”
“Rocking the fully healed bone with nothing to fear!”
[Bridge]
Finally, I walked to the beach.
The waves were higher than usual.
I gazed at them for a long time.
And felt that the rainy season was over.
[Final Chorus]
“Continuing the rhythm from the halfway mark,”
“Shaping up the wet soil before the summer dark.”
“Protecting the sweet potato, keeping them alive,”
“Watching the happy hill and the heavy roots thrive.”
“Finishing row number one, the whole track is clear.”
“Rocking the fully healed bone with nothing to fear!”
[Outro]
