Nescafe

From Stanislav Udin → To All 1 November 2001
Hello everyone!
Perhaps someone will find this interesting. Everyone has heard the song that sounds in
Nescafe advertisement. I liked this song so much that I have repeatedly
I had a desire to record it from the TV, but somehow there was no time for it. And so
I decided to look for it on the Internet. The first time I didn't find anything. After a few
months ago I decided that this couldn’t happen, that this song wouldn’t be in the format
MP3. I climbed again. And first of all, I realized that this song was liked not only
me. When searching, I constantly came across all kinds of message boards and
forums where people asked where they could download this song. Along the way
I found out that this song is not in Ukrainian. As a result, I found that
was looking for. The song lasts exactly a minute. I decided that there should be an original and on
English. I found him too. The length of the song was already 2.5 minutes. Song
included 3 verses. It seems that the goal has been achieved. But I decided to go further and
find out where this song even came from. And I found out. Sings original song
singer Shunza with a very pleasant voice, originally from China, who at the age of 6
years moved to San Francisco, then studied at college in Switzerland. In 1999
year she moved to Taiwan, where she released her album "Shunza", which
included the song "Open Up". Now the singer is 28 years old. A slightly reworked song"Open Up" has become Nescafe's calling card. The song was released in English and
Chinese languages, its duration is 3:03 min. Interestingly, the Russian version
The song quite fully conveys the meaning of the original text:
Open Up
Words & music : AGUILAR
Voice:SHUNZA
You can be rich, with no money to spend.
(You can always be happy without money)
You can do anything when you understand.
(Be a strong man and gentle like a mother)
You can be mother, when you are a man.
(Believe in your strength, find the key to yourself)
Open up, You know that you can.
(Open your heart. You are not alone)
Open up the borders and start in your head
Open your mind to thoughts rarely said.
Open your heart, and open your mind.
Open your thoughts and don't stay behind.
Open your eyes, open your mind.
(Open your eyes, open your soul)
Open your thoughts, don't stay behind
(Find your way, don't stand behind)
Open up, open up, open up,
(Open yourself, open yourself, open yourself)
Open up, open up, open up. Let's get there.
(Open yourself, open yourself, open yourself. Nescafe)
You can be rich, with no money to spend.
You can do everything, when you understand.
You can be mother, when you are a man.
Open up, You know that you can.
Open your eyes, open your mind
Open your thoughts, don't stay behind. Let's get there.
Open up, open up, open up, open up. Let's get there.
Open your eyes, open your mind.Open your thoughts, don't stay behind. Let's get there.
Open up, open up, open up, open up. Let's get there.
Open up, open up, open up, open up. Let's get there.
Open up, Open up, Let's get there.
Open up, Open up, Let's get there.
Please note that instead of the usual "Nescafe" the original sings "Let's
get there" which sounds quite similar.
I spent the longest time looking for the original song, although I already knew its name and
performer, I had to sift through a sea of unreadable Chinese pages, on one
Of these I found what I had been looking for for so long. One thing remains unclear to me. During
The original song "Open Up" plays the Nescafe theme - is it really the Nestle company?
did you take it from this song?
