Lyrics edit

迎接另一个晨曦 带来全新空气

Welcome another dawn that brings fresh air with it

气息改变情味不变 茶香飘满情谊

The scent changes, the mood remains the same, the tea's fragrance is full of friendship

我家大门常打开 开放怀抱等你

The door of my house is always open, waiting for you with open arms

拥抱过就有了默契 你会爱上这里

After hugging there will be a new understanding, you will fall in love with this place

不管远近都是客人 请不用客气

Whether you're from near or far, there's no need to be too polite

相约好了在一起 我们欢迎你

We made an appointment to spend time together, we welcome you

我家种着万年青 开放每段传奇

My family grows evergreens, opening every legend

为传统的土壤播种 为你留下回忆

Sow seeds in traditional soil, leaving memories for you

陌生熟悉都是客人 请不用拘礼

Whether we know each other well or you're a stranger everyone is a guest, there's no need to be too polite

第几次来没关系 有太多话题

It doesn't matter how many times you've come here before, there are so many things to discuss

北京欢迎你 为你开天辟地

Beijing welcomes you and creates a new world for you
