富士山下 Under Mount Fuji

Eason Chan 陳奕迅

On Valentine's Day a man drives his ex home to help her let go, reasoning that love, like Mount Fuji, can be admired but never owned. One of Eason's best-loved ballads and a KTV standard for heartbreak.

Cantonese. The Mandarin version is a different song title: 愛情轉移.
