Translation of the song 戒酒歌 artist Yang Fang-yi

米酒米酒米酒好

Rice wine, rice wine, so powerful.

喝了马上倒

You'll soon pass out if you drink.

米酒米酒米酒妙

Rice wine, rice wine, so wonderful.

喝了不太妙

But it'll be kind of far from good if you drink.

农夫种稻排排倒

Rice sown by a drunk farmer lodges row by row,

樵夫砍柴砍到脚

A drunk woodcutter cuts his feet instead of wood.

如果想让草原不长草　

If you want a grassland barren of grass,

不妨米酒往上浇

You might as well pour some on.
