Chapter 84 Classical English

  When You Are Old is a poem by the famous Irish poet Yeats, which has been appearing in various textbooks for many years. For hundreds of years, countless people have been sighing over the love expressed in this poem "When You Are Old". If there were to be a song with the same name now, even if it wasn't very good, it would still attract attention. Not to mention that this song is so classic.

  "Uh-huh, okay, I have no problem."

  Zhou Fan chose to agree, of course, he also had a bit of an idea to use the name "When You're Old".

  "Alright, I'll help you modify it now and upload it later."

  “OK。”

  Zhou Fan was a bit excited and wanted to see how much impact this would have when he got older.

  At 8 pm, after Mu Zhihua released his latest song "Single Bike Years", Zhou Yifan, who ranked second in the Huaxia Music Original Competition, also kept up with the pace and released a new song. According to Huaxia Music Original Network, this song "When You Are Old" is adapted by Zhou Yifan from Irish famous poet W.B. Yeats' love poem "When You Are Old", can be said to be a same-name song.

  "Brothers, I have some good news to share with everyone, Zhou Yivan has uploaded a new song on Monday."

  On Monday, someone shouted in the PP fan group.

  "Where, where, hair connection."

  As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted a large crowd of people.

  They were originally fans of Zhou Yifan, and as soon as they heard that a new song was released, how could they remain calm.

  "Now, I've tried it out and it feels really great."

  The friend immediately sent out a connection.

  After everyone clicks, listen immediately.

  I woke up from crying because I dreamed you left me.

  As the night wind blows across the windowsill, can you feel my love?

  The song begins with a hint of sadness and endless thoughts.

  It seemed as if he was thinking of someone.

  Will you still be by my side when I grow old?

  Look at those vows and lies, slowly drifting away with the passage of time.

  The most beautiful love is not how intense it is, but growing old with you.

  It's just the beginning, this song has already brought the masses into a world of extreme beauty and sadness when you're old.

  In this world, people can see a man with countless thoughts.

  Maybe he was muttering to himself, maybe he was reminiscing about the past, or maybe he was pouring his heart out to you.

  "This, this..."

  Many netizens have already been shocked just by hearing this.

  When you are old, when you are old...

  When you are old this love poem, there were many students who quoted this poem as a confession to their loved ones.

  It can be said that this poem is the ultimate treasure of love in the hearts of countless people.

  Countless people yearn for the love in "When You Are Old", countless people are moved. Until now, they find that this poem "When You Are Old" by Zhou Yifan makes them feel like re-reading it again. Although the lyrics of this song are not the same as Yeats' famous poem, they tell the same story and move people in the same way.

  And such stories are perfectly expressed in the form of music.

  Slowly, in their minds, they have already forgotten some of the lyrics from the original song "When You're Old". They can only remember this one song now.

  But this is just the beginning.

  When it came from behind, everyone screamed.

  How many people have admired your youthful appearance, but who is willing to bear the ruthless changes of time.

  How many people have come and gone in your life, but I know that for a lifetime, you and I will be together.

  Ah, ah, ah......

  Crazy, simply crazy.

  People have never felt that this song can bring them such madness.

  Until this song was sung all the way through, people still hadn't come back to their senses.

  They have been brought into a world of love by this song.

  "I'm going to fork, Zhou Yifan's when you're old, this is too classic."

  "My god, I'm also shocked, this is simply a resurrection of Ireland's famous poet Yeats."

  "My god, is this still a song? It's simply a divine melody."

  This time, it's not as calm and quiet as before, nor is it a slow discovery. This time, when you're old, just released, it's so eye-catching. At this moment, countless people scream, countless people shout, and countless people think they've found the most classic song in their hearts.

  As people listened to this, they slowly recalled the classic love poem "When You Are Old" and its beautiful story.

  Yeats was immediately and deeply smitten with Iseult Gonne.

  Yeats wrote of Alice:

  "She stood by the window, with a large cluster of apple blossoms beside her; she was radiant and dazzling, as if she herself were petals filled with sunlight."

  Yeats was deeply in love with her, but felt hopeless because of the noble image she had formed in his mind. The young Yeats thought himself "immature and unaccomplished", so although he was tormented by his passion for her, he did not dare to confess to her, partly because of shyness, and partly because he thought it impossible that she would marry a poor student as her husband.

  This is the background of the story when you are old.

  Until then, after many media propaganda, "When You Are Old", it moved countless music enthusiasts.

  Yes, they like listening to music and all yearn for a love that will last till death.

  I don't know how many people have always taken the poem "When You Are Old" as a reflection of their own love.

  When Zhou Yunpeng's same-name song "When You Are Old" was released, they found that they had found the music that belonged to their own hearts.

  This shock is unspeakable.

  Download, download, crazy download.

  The release of a classic song once again brought a terrifying IP flow to Huaxia Music Original Network. Almost every refresh had hundreds or even thousands of downloads. Such a terrible data almost crashed the Huaxia Music Original Network. Fortunately, after Sun Wenhao urgently mobilized a batch of mainframes, the entire service was stabilized.

  "It's terrible! It's unbearable!"

  Such popularity even startled Zheng Wenhao.

  "What's going on, Sun Li?"

  How did so many IPs suddenly appear? Zhou Fan's "One Life with You" is good, but it shouldn't be this terrifying, right?

  "This, manager, if it were just this one song in a lifetime, wouldn't be enough to achieve such popularity. After all, Zhou Yifan himself is a newcomer, and a newcomer absolutely can't accumulate his original popularity so quickly. The reason for the explosion was simply because we made a small change."

  "What's changed?"

  "We'll have this one song for life, changed to When You Are Old."

  "When you are old?"

  Zheng Wenhao paused for a moment before he understood and said, "Good kid, I'll remember your contribution."

  Don't underestimate this small change, sometimes the power it shows can be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more.

  Just as "When You Old" was rewritten from "One Life Has You", with the help of this centuries-old love poem, Zhou Yifan's "When You Old" suddenly captured countless music lovers. Of course, there is indeed some hype involved. However, in this world, many things are actually meant to be hyped up. The only difference is that some things can never be hyped up no matter what. Some things just need a little decoration and they can burst into countless brilliance.

  Actually, after in-depth research, Zhou Yifan's "When You Are Old" has shocked more people.

  In addition to the music being elegant and pleasant to hear, his lyrics also have a classic charm.

  For example, the four most famous sentences:

  How many people have admired your youthful appearance, but who is willing to bear the ruthless changes of time.

  How many people have come and gone in your life, but I know that for a lifetime, you and I will be together.

  When You Are Old is a famous poem by Irish poet W.B. Yeats, and it has become a globally popular love poem to this day. However, since the original poem was written in English, there have been many attempts to translate it into Chinese, which has resulted in at least a dozen different Chinese versions of "When You Are Old" on the market. Moreover, these dozens are still considered relatively well-translated.

  However, many people think that no matter how they translate, it seems never perfect.

  Until Monday's version of "When You Are Old" appeared, countless netizens exclaimed that this is the most perfect Chinese version of "When You Are Old".

  Apart from this, there is another shocking thing that was also reported by the media. After professional personnel listened to this song, they found that Zhou Yifan seemed to recite a paragraph of English in this song. Of course, reciting a paragraph of English may be a bit strange, but it won't cause much reaction. After all, although Chinese is used all over the world, English is still used as a local language in Europe and America, only without written records. What shocked them was that when Zhou Yifan recited this paragraph of English, professional personnel pointed out that there were several places where Zhou Yifan used classical English.

  Classical music is actually similar to classical Chinese literature.

  Consider that Classical Chinese is also mastered by very few people. Not to mention the almost completely lost classical English.

  According to some netizens in Europe and America, Zhou Yumin's "When You Are Old" is the most faithful adaptation of the original they have ever seen.

  That's right, when you're old this poem was actually recorded in "classical English" hundreds of years ago and later translated into modern English. Although modern English also inherited most of the flavor of classical English, it still lacked something. However, in Zhou Yifan's song, he made up for it greatly.

  Finally, when you are old, it reappears in its entirety before the public eye, though with a few less nuances.

  Experts predict that in a few decades, people will regard the version of "When You Are Old" recited by Zhou Xuan as the final version.

  A series of explosive elements combined, Zhou Yi Fan's "When You're Old" is not easy to be unexplosive. Even after such reports appeared, some friends who don't usually listen to songs went to try listening and downloaded it afterwards. This also led to Shang Kun, who was originally ahead of Zhou Yi Fan by a distance, being overtaken by him in just a short while after the release of "When You're Old", and even being left behind by a long distance like in a marathon.

  Schoolyard Folk Song vs Schoolyard Folk Song, this round, Zhou Yifan wins.

  Previously, the media heavily recommended "Dan Che Sui Yue" (Bicycle Years), but even Mu Zhihua, a leading figure in campus folk music, probably didn't expect this. After "Dang Ni Lao Le" (When You're Old) appeared, "Dan Che Sui Yue" hardly attracted anyone's attention. Now people are only discussing "Dang Ni Lao Le". At this point, the winner of this year's Huaxia Music Original Competition is probably no longer in doubt.
