他的下半生

酒吧一角饮得昏醉,他的双眼正下垂
抑郁心里他的子女,总不关心一句
每个晚上也都喝醉,紧握酒杯与失意畅聚
哭中感叹这生将要消失去。
奔波匆匆一生里(远去没法追),却为着谁
过去得都失去(满眼泪水),要抱怨着谁

手中相里他跟子女,当天欢笑结伴随
此刻只有这酒吧里,他跟影子一对
过往努力半生过去,追忆当中也不免带泪
酒吧关闭不可关上他心碎
奔波匆匆一生里(远去没法追),却为着谁





过去得都失去(满眼泪水),要抱怨着谁

Overall Meaning

The song "他的下半生" by 許冠傑 tells the story of an old man who spends his nights at a corner of a bar, drinking himself into a stupor. He is deeply depressed and his children do not seem to care about him at all. Every night he drinks to drown his sorrows and to forget his failures, holding onto his glass tightly. As he cries, he laments that his life is slipping away. He has been running about his whole life, but for whose sake? He has lost everything in the past and he wants to blame someone for it, but he does not know who to turn to.


The old man recollects the times he spent laughing and having fun with his children. But now, they seem to be nowhere in sight. All he has now is his own reflection in the bar, accompanied only by his own shadow. He remembers how hard he worked in the past, only to end up feeling nostalgic and shedding tears for what he has lost. Even as the bar closes, he cannot close the gaping wound in his heart.


The song portrays the sorrowful reality of elderly people who feel neglected by their own children in their twilight years. It will inspire people to empathize with these older people and to treat them with the care and respect that they deserve.

酒吧一角 飲得昏醉 他的雙眼正下垂
抑鬱心裡 他的子女 總不關心一句
每個晚上也都喝醉 緊握酒杯與失意暢聚
哭中感歎 這生將要消失去

* 奔波匆匆一生裡(遠去沒法追)
卻為著誰
過去的都失去(滿眼淚水)
要抱怨著誰*

手中相裡 他跟子女 當天歡笑結伴隨
此刻只有 這酒吧裡 他跟影子一對
過往努力半生過去 追憶當中也不免帶淚
酒吧關閉 不可關上他心碎
