When is Night Shanghai a song

"Night Shanghai" was composed by Chen Gexin, with lyrics by Fan Yanqiao and sung by Zhou Xuan. Shanghai by Night" was originally an interlude for the 1946 movie "Long Xiang Si". The song has a strong jazz style, reflecting the flavor of Shanghai's cosmopolitan city back then. It was later covered by Luo Wen. It has been sung to this day.

Lyrics to "Shanghai by Night"

Shanghai by Night

Shanghai by Night

The lights are up, the music is loud, the songs and the dances are loud

Only see her smiling face to welcome who knows she is suffering in her heart

The night life is all about food, clothing, housing, and transportation

Wine doesn't make anyone drunk

With the sky and the earth, we wasted our youth

Hazy dawn and weary eyes

With the turning of the wheels

Changing to a new world and a new environment

Remembering the night life as if waking up from a dream

Sung by: Zhou Xuan

Zhou Xuan was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, August 1, 1920, and is a Chinese film actress and singer.
