In the Chinese music scene, Teresa Teng can definitely be called a legend. Her sweet smile has a suffocating tenderness, and her singing brings a sweetness that makes people forget the pain. The faint sorrow of parting in the whole song is full of tenderness and sweetness under her interpretation.
Good flowers don’t bloom often, good times don’t always happen in
sorrows unwind, tears shed lovesickness,
After parting tonight, when will you come again
…
How many times can you get drunk in your life? Why don’t you wait for
Teresa Teng made this old Shanghai-style "When will you come again" become popular in the Chinese music scene again, and its influence also makes many people think that she is the original singer of the song.
In fact, this song was first sung by Zhou Xuan on " Golden Voice " in Shanghai. There is also a more familiar version, which is sung by Japanese singer Li Xianglan . The two singing versions of
have a deeper sense of the times, which are reflected in many film and television works set in old Shanghai. Together with the singing, people immediately pull people back to that old era, with the prosperous and lively scenes, and the beautiful people spin on the dance floor.
A simple song of separation, but the fate is tragic. At the beginning of the creation, it was covered with a variety of political colors under the background of a special era. All parties did not welcome them, and were full of opposition.
uncovers the dusty history and traces back to that not too long time. The song "When will come again" is an interlude of the song and dance film "When will come again". The songwriter is Liu Xue'an, a composer who has created countless anti-Japanese songs. Later, the film's director Fang Peilin asked the director Huang Jiamo to fill in the lyrics without his consent. Liu Xue'an was extremely dissatisfied with this, but due to the fact that the relationship between friends did not publicly protest, it has since laid the foreshadowing for his tragic life.
"Golden Voice" Zhou Xuan sang "When will you come again" for the first time, and immediately became a classic golden song that everyone in Shanghai rushes to recite.
1939 Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War movie " Isolated Island Paradise " also selected "When will you come again" sung by Li Lili as an interlude. In the film, the parting scene of a man reluctant to part with his sweetheart before joining the army complements the charm of the song and cooperates just right. After
, this song was covered by Li Xianglan and included in the record. The performance of this "Shanghai Queen" was also unique and soon circulated nationwide and became a household name.
During the Anti-Japanese War, this song was not favored by the national and Japanese invaders as soon as it was born, and all three parties strongly criticized the song.
Japanese believes that this is an anti-Japanese song, and the lyrics imply that the people are looking forward to "when will the national army come back?" The Kuomintang believes that this is calling the Communist Party to return to Shanghai; while the Communist Party regards this song as an exaggeration of the degenerate and corrupt lifestyle of the old Shanghai and criticizes it.
Now it seems that this song is forced to add many of its inner meanings, which is really innocent. The tragic fate of the author Liu Xue'an also arose because of this song. The lyrics of "When will you come again" adapted by someone with ulterior motives was wrongly classified as a rightist. He was imprisoned in the "cowshed" for 22 years, suffered all the torture and blindness. It was not until nine years after the end of the Cultural Revolution.
A song with a tragic life has made the composer's life bumpy, and the wonderful music he left to the world has been passed down forever. The huge gap in the composer's situation is a pity and full of emotions.
By the early 1980s, Teresa Teng's cover "When will you come again" became popular again after entering the mainland, but it was once considered "spiritual pollution" and "yellow songs", and it was prohibited to spread on the grounds of preventing mental pollution to the people.
What we see now is that the songwriter Liu Xue'an has long been rehabilitated, and "When will you come again" has long been lifted. The great progress in cultural openness and inclusion reflected in this is really encouraging.
Reading the lyrics of "When will you come again" carefully makes people feel that Huang Jiamo's lyrics are mostly hasty, so there are casual words like "After drinking this cup, please add some side dishes." I thought of Wu Bai's thoughts of "Come on, come on, there is one cup after drinking this cup, and three cups after drinking this cup", and I instantly danced.
But we must admit that as a song lyrics, it is very consistent with the theme of Liu Xue'an's "When will you come again". And the "good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't always happen", "When will you come again after parting tonight?" "How many times will you get drunk in life? What's more, don't you have to be happy?" are popular and timeless.
Ms. Dong mentioned earlier, Zhou Xuan, Li Xianglan and Teresa Teng performed this song "When will you come again" at different times. The three of them have their own unique styles and are all high-quality works.
The circumcised singing sounds like crossing the turbulent time and space of war and passing through the fate of joys and sorrows, and the charming and tender voice left behind swaying in the long river of time. The teenager Zhou Xuan is already the one who sang the song from Shanghai, and her voice still has a tender taste. The version she sang is light, and she speaks the sorrow of parting, but it also has a bit of a young and ignorant feeling of sorrow.
The version performed by Li Xianglan has more gorgeous colors, and is equally gentle and melodious. A pop song has a bit of bel canto, and the whole feeling is more atmospheric. But it truly interprets a "despicable sound", which makes people intoxicated. There is no need to say much about the version of Teresa Teng, the gentle and sweet way to make you just want to come back soon.
Many singers have performed this song "When will you come again", Lisa Ono , Feng Feifei , Xu Xiaofeng , Cai Qin , Fei Yuqing ... Miss Dong can only say that it is a good song that everyone loves.
Since ancient times, literati have loved to describe this sadness of parting, and wine has become an indispensable part. Li Bai said, "You must have fun in life, and don't let the golden master face the moon." Su Shi chanted "Life is like a dream, and one of them returns to the moon in the river."
"When will you come again" sings the emotions of parting and expresses the melancholy of time being short and youth is difficult to stay. "Come on, have another drink." The brief drunkenness brought by this wine makes people temporarily forget the pain of parting. When I woke up at the cocktail party, my life had to continue, and I could only hope that "you will come again".
A love song that never ages, has been washed by time and still maintains its youthful beauty.
It is only because good flowers don’t bloom and good times don’t last, which makes people pursue the flash-like blooms at all costs. Because this good flower does not bloom often and the good times do not always exist, it is even more necessary to protect it with a dedicated person. Moreover, because this good flower does not bloom often, the good scene does not always exist, and you need to cherish the beautiful flowers in front of you.
How many times can you get drunk in life? What if you don’t want to be happy?
