What to listen for
The lyric centers on the phrase 常来, repeated as a warm invitation to return. Around that refrain, the singer mentions a person leaving, asks them to remember a face, and places the relationship in a landscape of mountains, water, sky, clouds, and bamboo. The language is direct and easy to follow, with a few useful patterns for invitations, reminders, and describing a place.
- Recognize and use 常来 as an invitation to visit again.
- Understand how 不管... and 请记得... work in simple lyric lines.
- Notice how repeated lines create emphasis and help track the song’s sections.
How the song moves
Opening image
The lyric begins with butterflies and a broad natural scene, then turns to movement: someone may go somewhere else, but the singer asks to be remembered.
Refrain
常来 常来 returns several times, paired with 年年这里花都开 and 爱你的人都在 to stress welcome and presence.
Middle description
The lyrics use clouds, bamboo, heart, sweetness, and engraved rock to deepen the feeling of lasting care.
Closing repetition
The song ends by returning to 不管你要去哪边 and 请记得我的脸, then fades into la-la vocal sounds.
Translation choices
不管你要去哪边
bù guǎn nǐ yào qù nǎ biān
- Natural English
- No matter where you want to go
- Why
- This keeps the meaning of 不管 as a strong “no matter” phrase and matches the open-ended direction of 去哪边.
你来我这边 我给蜜糖甜
nǐ lái wǒ zhè biān wǒ gěi mì táng tián
- Natural English
- If you come my way, I’ll give you something sweet like honey
- Why
- The line uses 你来我这边 and 我给蜜糖甜; this rendering keeps the welcoming move toward the speaker and preserves the sweet, gift-like tone without overreading it.
请记得我的脸
qǐng jì de wǒ de liǎn
- Natural English
- Please remember my face
- Why
- This is a direct and natural match for 请记得我的脸, keeping the request plain and personal.
Useful Mandarin from the song
常来cháng láicome often; come back often
常来 is a compact invitation used here as the song’s key refrain. It sounds warm and welcoming.
有空常来坐坐。yǒu kòng cháng lái zuò zuò。Come sit over whenever you have time.
不管bù guǎnno matter; regardless of
不管 introduces a condition the speaker is willing to accept, and it is followed by a question-like place phrase here.
不管多晚，我都会等你。bù guǎn duō wǎn， wǒ dū huì děng nǐ。No matter how late it is, I’ll wait for you.
请记得qǐng jì deplease remember
请 softens the request, and 记得 is the everyday verb for remembering. Together they form a polite plea.
请记得明天带伞。qǐng jì de míng tiān dài sǎn。Please remember to bring an umbrella tomorrow.
都在dōu zàiare all here; are all present
都 strengthens the sense of totality, and 在 marks presence or being there.
大家都在教室里。dà jiā dōu zài jiào shì lǐ。Everyone is in the classroom.
Listen closely
- Hear how 常来 is repeated as a refrain, making the invitation the anchor of the song.
- Notice the switch from short direct lines to longer image-rich lines like 云深不知处 and 金黄色山岩.
- Pay attention to the closing la-la sections: they do not add new meaning, but they extend the song’s ending after the final request.
