Reunited After Forty Years
— A Song for the 83651 Class’s 40th Graduation Anniversary
Verse 1
I still remember the morning light at Yujiatou,
And the sunsets beside East Lake.
We were young in those days,
Setting off with dreams to distant places.
How many seasons have passed in forty years,
How many stories remain in our hearts.
Scattered far and wide, busy with our own lives,
We’ve never forgotten the friendship of our student days.
Chorus
Come on, come on, old classmates,
After forty years, we’re together again!
Raise a glass in Hefei,
With endless stories to share and laughter all around.
Come on, come on, old classmates,
Let’s meet at Huangshan and watch the sea of clouds!
Eight-three-six-five-one, a memory that stays forever,
Our youthful days will always keep us together!
Verse 2
The youngsters we once were now have silver hair,
Yet every face still wears that familiar smile.
Call out an old nickname and shake a hand,
And suddenly it feels like those days again.
Huangshan’s sea of clouds greets the morning sun,
Hefei’s evening lights glow bright.
We’ll take our time telling forty years of stories,
As familiar laughter fills the air once more.
Chorus (repeat)
Come on, come on, old classmates,
After forty years, we’re together again!
Raise a glass in Hefei,
With endless stories to share and laughter all around.
Come on, come on, old classmates,
Let’s meet at Huangshan and watch the sea of clouds!
Eight-three-six-five-one, a memory that stays forever,
Our youthful days will always keep us together!
Outro
From the banks of the Yangtze to the foot of Huangshan,
Forty years of friendship still shine with warmth.
Wherever life may take us from here,
Eight-three-six-five-one will always be our home!
