A song has been standing out recently. First, there is a short intro to the song. Then, a woman playing the trumpet continues the song. One of the reasons the song went viral is that the melody played on the trumpet became very popular.
The story of the 'Tararara' part is based on a concert. One of the male audience members shouted 'Tararara' before the trumpet entrance. Since that day, the audience shouts 'Tararara' at every concert before the trumpet melody begins.
The original version of the song is in Chinese. It is better known in English as 'Time of Our Lives.'
The song, performed by Zhao Lei, is actually not a new song. Released in 2016 and once very popular in China, the song continues to be listened to today. Thanks to TikTok and its identification with the name 'Tararara,' the song has recently spread to the Western world as well.
In general, the song describes a longing for one's youth, the pure emotions experienced during that period, and the time that has slipped away. At the same time, it commemorates the beautiful times of the past with happiness and acceptance. While it laments the passage of time, it also accepts the changes in life. Emotions such as sadness, nostalgia, gratitude, and acceptance are intertwined in the song.
For example, some of the lyrics are as follows:
We were chatting on a summer night
Those old times that cannot be returned to
Now we have gone in different directions
Thank you for entering my life
