葬英雄
胡彥斌 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

貪一世英名哦追權貴煙雲
一億年之間哦誰能論輸贏
是英雄是狗熊哦老天還沒定
成為王敗為寇還要看天命

這三尺黃土夠不夠埋你一世罵名
生死約定真愛還難尋
是多情是無情拿命來證明

人會變情難盡謊言很公平

這三尺黃土能不能葬你霸業雄心
物換星移這青史誰來留名
不要恨生不逢時
天要滅你輪回早已註定

貪一世英名哦追權貴煙雲
一億年之間哦誰能論輸贏
是英雄是狗熊哦老天還沒定
成為王敗為寇還要看天命

這三尺黃土夠不夠埋你一世罵名
生死約定真愛還難尋
是多情是無情拿命來證明
人會變情難盡謊言很公平

這三尺黃土能不能葬你霸業雄心
物換星移這青史誰來留名

不要恨生不逢時
天要滅你輪回早已註定

Overall Meaning

In the song "葬英雄", 胡彥斌 sings about the pursuit of power, fame, and legacy that many people seek during their lifetime. The lyrics suggest that no matter how much one desires these things, they are ultimately at the mercy of fate and the unpredictability of life. The chorus repeats the lines "貪一世英名" (greedy for a lifetime of glory) and "成為王敗為寇還要看天命" (whether you become a king or a loser depends on destiny), emphasizing the idea that success and failure depend on factors beyond an individual's control.

The song also touches on the theme of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The lines "這三尺黃土夠不夠埋你一世罵名" (will these three feet of yellow soil be enough to bury your lifetime of insults) and "生死約定真愛還難尋" (life and death are predetermined, true love is hard to find) suggest that in the end, all fame, power, and love will fade away. The verses also juxtapose the concepts of passion and loyalty with betrayal and deceit, suggesting that all humans are capable of both.
