The time has come,
Joy and prosperity,
Red veils over our doors
Red for happiness,
Red for luck,
Red lanterns out on the porch.
Blessings from married relatives
To whom we say, “Thank you.”
Red packets for you and I,
And here’s an orange or two for you.
A tour of visits to our families
And friends whom we love so dear,
Whom we only meet sometimes
Once or twice a year.
So have a prawn,
Have a fish,
Dumplings and
Vegetables too
Raise your cup,
Here’s a toast
“Happy new year”
From me to you
Haunting Angel
