The 2008 Beijing Olympic Theme Song – You and Me (æˆ‘å’Œä½ )
The 2008 Beijing Olympic fever is definitely not over yet…
There was this controversial topic about little Lin Miao Ke (林妙å¯)’s lip sync performance during the opening ceremony, discussion on how the facilities such as the Bird Nest stadium shall be put to good use after the games. And recently, some guys spread their findings on the medal tally that appears to match the date and time when the terrible earthquake hit Sichuan Province.
51, 21 and 28 for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals respectively…the numbers remind some observant people about the Sichuan Earthquake on 12 May (512), exactly at 2:28pm. What a coincidence!
As for myself, I’m obsessed with Beijing Olympic’s mascots! My latest craziest move was to spend more than $20 to buy kiddo’s McD Happy Meals in order to collect all five of them!
Those who have watched the olympic opening ceremony should know the theme song. It is somehow different from all the olympic theme songs that I’ve heard before and I can feel that this song is delivering a message to bring peace and harmony to the world (Especially a chaotic world we are in now).
This song is in dual language, Chinese and English. Sarah Brightman and the famous Soprano Liu Huan (刘欢) managed to express this song perfectly. One Ang Moh and one Asian, Asian sings Ang Moh part and Ang Moh sings Chinese part, two different skin tone people singing this song in the eyes of the world…even if you don’t listen to the song, this combination is already telling you the olympic’s moto:
“ONE WORLD ONE DREAM”
The MV is touching….I have to admit
And of course the song too…
The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Theme Song “You And Me” (Sarah Brightman and Liu Huan) Piano Sheet Preview
This piano sheet/ music score is in original key. In fact, there are a few transpositions in the whole song. Male vocal enters at B Flat Major and transposes to A Major when female sings. When choir and Male take over again, the key switches to B Major and finally ends at C Major.
I have included the lyrics and chords, done the music sheet in two parts: accompaniment and melody.
It may be complicated, but considering that the melody is actually very simple, all you have to deal is the key and some swift scales…
It’s up to you…

Hi,
Could you please send me the full copy of the piano score with the vocal part incorporated into it for “You and Me”, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Theme Song. I would like to teach it to my 5th graders and need the phonetic pronunciation for the Chinese lyrics as well as the English lyrics. I can’t find it published anywhere.
Thank you, Julie

Hi Julie,
Is it the romanized Chinese lyrics that you want? Just want to make sure before I modify the lyrics.

Hello good morning I will be having my Ensemble perform this piece for this year’s Chinese New Year celebration and I was hoping to find a recording of just the piano accompaniment. I can play the piece however I’m also going to be singing with the Ensemble and I don’t have an accompanist and would rather not sit and play and sing during the performance. If you know where I can find a recording of the piano accompaniment as is performed by the score please forward me that link. Thank you

Hi there
I am hosting a sing-song of Olympic songs and would love to include this wonderful piece. I am going to need the romanised lyrics if at all possible (although I have found a good youtube clip that teaches the phonetics) – any help would be very much appreciated. I am the MD for the Games Maker Choir (formed at London2012) Best wishes
