李宗盛 - 山丘 (Jonathan Lee - Hill)
作词 (Lyrics): 李宗盛
作曲 (Composer): 李宗盛
想说却还没说的 还很多
xiǎng shuō què hái méi shuō de hái hěn duō
There are still many things I want to say but haven't
攒着是因为想写成歌
zǎn zhe shì yīn wèi xiǎng xiě chéng gē
I've saved them because I want to turn them into a song
让人轻轻地唱着 淡淡地记着
ràng rén qīng qīng de chàng zhe dàn dàn de jì zhe
So people can sing softly and remember lightly
就算终于忘了 也值了
jiù suàn zhōng yú wàng le yě zhí le
Even if they finally forget, it's still worth it
说不定我一生涓滴意念
shuō bu dìng wǒ yī shēng juān dī yì niàn
Maybe every single thought in my life
侥幸汇成河 然后我俩各自一端
jiǎo xìng huì chéng hé rán hòu wǒ liǎ gè zì yī duān
Luckily forms a river, and then we each stand on one end
望着大河弯弯 终于敢放胆
wàng zhe dà hé wān wān zhōng yú gǎn fàng dǎn
Looking at the winding river, finally daring to be bold
嘻皮笑脸 面对 人生的难
xī pí xiào liǎn miàn duì rén shēng de nán
Facing life's difficulties with a mischievous smile
也许我们从未成熟
yě xǔ wǒ men cóng wèi chéng shú
Maybe we've never matured
还没能晓得 就快要老了
hái méi néng xiǎo de jiù kuài yào lǎo le
Haven't yet understood, and are already getting old
尽管心里活着的还是那个 年轻人
jǐn guǎn xīn lǐ huó zhe de hái shì nà gè nián qīng rén
Even though the young person is still alive in our hearts
因为不安而频频回首
yīn wèi bù ān ér pín pín huí shǒu
Often looking back due to insecurity
无知地索求 羞耻于求救
wú zhī de suǒ qiú xiū chǐ yú qiú jiù
Ignorantly demanding, ashamed to ask for help
不知疲倦地翻越 每一个山丘
bù zhī pí juàn de fān yuè měi yī gè shān qiū
Relentlessly climbing over every hill
越过山丘 虽然已白了头
yuè guò shān qiū suī rán yǐ bái le tóu
Crossing over hills, even though our hair has turned white
喋喋不休 时不我予的哀愁
dié dié bù xiū shí bù wǒ yǔ de āi chóu
Endlessly talking about the sorrow of time not on our side
还未如愿见着不朽
hái wèi rú yuàn jiàn zhe bù xiǔ
Still not seeing the immortality we wished for
就把自己先搞丢
jiù bǎ zì jǐ xiān gǎo diū
Yet losing ourselves first
越过山丘 才发现无人等候
yuè guò shān qiū cái fā xiàn wú rén děng hòu
Crossing over hills, only to find no one waiting
喋喋不休 再也唤不回温柔
dié dié bù xiū zài yě huàn bù huí wēn róu
Endlessly talking, never recalling gentleness again
为何记不得上一次是谁给的拥抱 在什么时候
wèi hé jì bù dé shàng yī cì shì shuí gěi de yǒng bào zài shén me shí hòu
Why can't I remember who gave the last hug, and when it was
我没有刻意隐藏 也无意让你感伤
wǒ méi yǒu kè yì yǐn cáng yě wú yì ràng nǐ gǎn shāng
I didn't intentionally hide, nor intentionally make you feel sad
多少次我们无醉不欢
duō shǎo cì wǒ men wú zuì bù huān
How many times we drank and had fun
咒骂人生太短 唏嘘相见恨晚
zhòu mà rén shēng tài duǎn xī xū xiàng jiàn hèn wǎn
Cursing life for being too short, sighing about meeting too late
让女人把妆哭花了 也不管
ràng nǚ rén bǎ zhuāng kū huā le yě bù guǎn
Letting women cry their makeup off, not caring
遗憾我们从未成熟
yí hàn wǒ men cóng wèi chéng shú
Regretting that we never matured
还没能晓得 就已经老了
hái méi néng xiǎo de jiù yǐ jīng lǎo le
Haven't yet understood, and are already old
尽力却仍不明白 身边的年轻人
jìn lì què réng bù míng bái shēn biān de nián qīng rén
Trying our best yet still not understanding the young people around us
给自己随便找个理由

Finding any excuse for ourselves
向情爱的挑逗 命运的左右

不自量力地还手 直至死方休

Song Interpretation
Short Summary
The song "山丘" (Hill) by Jonathan Lee, written and composed by 李宗盛, reflects on the passage of time, unspoken emotions, and the yearning for understanding and immortality. The lyrics express feelings of regret and nostalgia, symbolized by climbing hills and realizing that life is fleeting. It explores personal growth, loss, and the struggle with the inevitability of aging.
Detailed Insights
The song delves into the complexities of life and the challenges of self-awareness as one grows older. It portrays a journey of unfulfilled desires and the bittersweet realization that many things remain unsaid or unattained. The metaphor of crossing hills represents life's obstacles and the relentless pursuit of meaning, even as time slips away.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and regret, particularly about missed opportunities and the inevitable passage of time. The reference to "白了头" (hair turning white) symbolizes aging, while the recurring line "越过山丘" (crossing over hills) reflects the continuous effort to overcome life's challenges despite the emotional and physical toll.
