(Female voice version) Main idea of English lyrics: I am drinking alone in the high-mountains of the frontier, It fell like I can drink all the heroic sentiments of generations into my throat. Not only that, but I'll boil the snow and drink it with a hero. *( boil the snow,It's like another expression for boiling wine or tea.The hero is likely to be a friend who shares the author's ideals and is greatly admired by the **author.at** this time, the author is likely to be drinking alone,Because the lyrics mentioned drinking alone. The hero friend sitting opposite should be the author's imagination. This shows that the author misses his friends far away.)* (To my friends and relatives in my hometown) I am an old friend far away from home, Now I am facing the green hills, but I find my hair has turned white. *(In china, green hills also has the implication of being in the prime of life)* Even so, when I was young, I used to fight with a powerful silver spear and became a influential man at that time. The weather in the frontier was so bad that I've endured cold winds as sharp as a knife for years,with lonely day and night. Even the rocks on the mountain seem to have been tortured to the bone. At the border where I was stationed, the fighting continued, Even the sky was dyed yellow by the smoke of war, and the earth seemed to be full of melancholy. But I am glad that red plum is still blooming and not falling from the branches. *(Because the plum blossom is open in the cold winter, so in China, Plum blossom is the symbol of indomitable will.This means that the harsh environment and the long and cruel fighting have not killed the author's will to protect the country.)* The smok of war is caming to me, I made a little plan, leaped forward, and drew out my sword to break through the sand and killed the enemy. When the sun departs,The spring breeze with warm meaning will once again blow the pavilions and towers in the city. But in this era of war, Chang'an city will be surrounded by war again. *(That means that war is far from over)* I am drinking alone in the high-mountains of the frontier, It fell like I can drink all the heroic sentiments of generations into my throat. Not only that, but I'll boil the snow and drink it with a hero. (To my friends and relatives in my hometown) I am an old friend far away from home, Now I am facing the green hills, but I find my hair has turned white. Even so, when I was young, I used to fight with a powerful silver spear and became a influential man at that time. When I was a teenager, I used to run horses freely in Chang'an city,And in the streets wantonly with people drinking competition. But suddenly one day, the beacon fire awakened me from my dream, That night, for the first time, I tried on a new armor and became a soldier guarding the country. (I made up my mind) If one day I die in battle, I still can't witness the moment when my motherland recovers its lost territory. then all my efforts will not be immortal, and even my weapons will be full of rust. *(Express the author's determination to recover the lost land of the motherland)* I used to think that I was a born optimis,my life should be to travel around the world alone and carefree, And contribute my intelligence to the world . So, even when I face the war, I will sing freely and pour all the wine into the bowl, then facing the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, I said to my friend, "I am willing to guard it with you!" *(The author's best friend should also become a soldier, but his friend should guard the frontier elsewhere.)* I am drinking alone in the high-mountains of the frontier, It fell like I can drink all the heroic sentiments of generations into my throat. Not only that, but I'll boil the snow and drink it with a hero. (To my friends and relatives in my hometown) I am an old friend far away from home, Now I am facing the green hills, but I find my hair has turned white. Even so, when I was young, I used to fight with a powerful silver spear and became a influential man at that time.

Thanks! My Chinese isn't good enough to understand lyrics. I was wondering about Mt. Guan, but it makes so much more sense that it could be any mountain outside the borders.

@@eugene188 关,在中文中有很多意义,这里主要是指边关,关隘的意思。GUAN, in Chinese, has a lot of meaning, here mainly refers to the border, pass and so on.

@@eugene188 The lyrics of Chinese ancient songs mostly use classical Chinese, which is characterized by gorgeous and concise words. Almost every word has a moral and story background, so you will find that if you translate a few words of classical Chinese into English, there will be a lot of words. Moreover, almost all Chinese believe that translating classical Chinese into English will make it lose more than 50% of its deep meaning. English translation can only present the meaning of the original text in the form of vernacular, without the decoration of gorgeous words and the beauty of poetry. And most importantly, every word in classical Chinese may contain many different meanings, which is why Chinese people find it very difficult to translate classical Chinese words into English. Taking this song as an example, I revised many original meanings in the original text and tried to translate the lyrics in a way that Westerners can understand. Although this way can not completely restore the meaning of the lyrics, but the main idea is similar, and it is easy for foreigners to understand, and there is no need to worry about the deeper meaning of the original words. I'm glad you like it, but I still want to say that there may be a few mistakes in the translation of the lyrics, but the impact is not big.
