"We'll Meet Again in Twenty Years"
Lyrics: A Ding, Zhang Meitong, Music: Gu Jianfen, Vocals: Zhang Mai, Tong Tiexin
There's no time to wait, there's no time to get drunk
Oh, there's no time to get drunk
Young hearts greet the sun, and together they chase that hope
We're going out with our wishes and aspirations
Let time witness and let the years experience, do we have no regrets
We'll meet again in twenty years
Let the years witness and let the years experience, do we have no regrets?
We will meet again in 20 years
The mountains, the water
The scenery will be very beautiful, I hope we will meet again
The spring, the autumn
The fruits will be enchanting
There is no time to be sad, there is no time to be sad
There is no time to be sad
There is no time to be sad.
Oh, it's too late to recall
Colorful dreams full of ideals, flying together towards the future
We will paint the blueprint once again
Let the times review, let the time comment
Do we have a clear conscience
We'll meet again in another two decades
The sky at that time, oh, the land at that time
The country will be even more beautiful then, but I wish we could be more beautiful then. The motherland will be even more beautiful then, and I hope we will meet again then
Then you, oh, then me
Then the achievements will be gratifying
Then you, oh, then me
We will meet again then
Then we will meet again
The new generation of the cross-century, and we will meet again then
Expanded InformationComposition Background
"Young
Young Friends Come Together" is the masterpiece of Gu Jianfen, and it is also the song of the times that young people often hummed in the early eighties. The melody of this song is light, beautiful, vivid and novel, full of youthful flavor and sense of the times, accurately reflecting the life, pursuit, ideals, and unlimited longing for a better future of the young people in that prosperous era.
Since the song contains one or two paragraphs describing the situation of meeting again after twenty years, Gu Jianfen and the song's lyricist Zhang Meitong worked together again to create a song called "Meeting Again After Twenty Years," which was unveiled at the CCTV Young Singers Grand Prix that year, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the song's birth.
