The lyrics of this song are:
How many memories?
As if it were yesterday.
How many friends do you have?
As if still around.
Maybe my heart is heavy.
Is it bitter or sweet to meet?
Now raise your glasses.
Good people are safe all their lives.
Who can get drunk with me?
Know each other year after year.
Close at hand is fate.
This feeling warms the world.
Who can get drunk with me?
Know each other year after year.
Close at hand is fate.
This feeling warms the world.
How many memories?
As if it were yesterday.
How many friends do you have?
As if still around.
Maybe my heart is heavy.
Is it bitter or sweet to meet?
Now raise your glasses.
Good people are safe all their lives.
Who can get drunk with me?
Know each other year after year.
Close at hand is fate.
This feeling warms the world.
Who can get drunk with me?
Know each other year after year.
Close at hand is fate.
This feeling warms the world.
Song appreciation
The lyrics of this song, with a neat pattern of almost six words per sentence, laid a simple and not exciting writing structure for the work, and also reflected people's hope for a dull life after the Cultural Revolution to some extent. The melody of the song is deep and soothing, and the change of first suppression and then promotion achieves an artistic effect from deep to warm.
This song is an elegy for all the good people who suffered misfortune during the Cultural Revolution, and it is also a blessing for all the good people who walked out of the Cultural Revolution and continued to invest in reform and opening up. The greatest artistic achievement of a song is that it doesn't have to take a bad person or a group of bad people as a typical example because it highlights the good people, but only uses warmth to resolve the negative shadow of an era, and the theme is to return to human nature. It can be said that the purpose of this song is not to avenge the past, but to make people live better.
