Translation
Bilingual
Once, there was a mountain called Peak 15
Nothing was known about it
But in 1852, the surveyors found it was the highest in the world
And they named it Everest
ย
When men were first drawn to Everest, it was an unknown quantity
Something entirely beyond them
ย
(Something entirely beyond them)
ย
A climber, climbs with his guts, his brain, his soul, and his feet
ย
All of them bound for a cold and white world
A world that is all up and up
ย
(Up and up)
ย
The air is getting thinner and thinner
At such heights when you're lacking oxygen
You may think you're normal, but you're not
You're moving in a dream
A dream that deludes and debilitates
ย
Two very small men cutting steps in the roof of the world
ย
(The roof of the world)
ย
(Up and up)
ย
(Up and up)
ย
Why should a man climb Everest?
Because it is there
ย
