恭喜恭喜 (Gong Xi Gong Xi)

China

The title of this song, 恭喜恭喜 (Gōng xǐ gōng xǐ) literally means "Congratulations, Congratulations". It has the sense of "Good wishes to you for a happy and prosperous New Year". I translated "Gong xi" as "Good wishes" to keep this meaning. Shirley pointed out this song to us and sent the note: ""Happy Chinese New Year... this song is very popular in China. It has a very catchy chorus that I sing at my music classes for preschool children."

恭喜恭喜 (Gong Xi Gong Xi)

Chinese New Year Song

(Chinese)

每条大街小巷，每个人的嘴里 见面第一句话， 就是恭喜恭喜。 恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀　 恭喜恭喜恭喜你 冬天已到尽头， 真是好的消息； 温暖的春风， 吹醒了大地。 恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀　 恭喜恭喜恭喜你 皓皓冰雪溶解， 眼看梅花吐蕊 漫漫长夜过去， 听到一声鸡啼 恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀　 恭喜恭喜恭喜你 經過多少困難　 經歷多少磨練 多少心兒盼望　 春天的消息 恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀　恭喜恭喜恭喜你

Good Wishes, Good Wishes

Chinese New Year Song

(English)

On every street and pathway,On everyone's lips,The first thing we say is,"Good wishes, good wishes."Good wishes, good wishes to you, yeah! Good wishes, good wishes to you!Winter has come to an end,That is really good news,A warm spring breeze isBlowing to wake up the earth.Good wishes, good wishes to you, yeah! Good wishes, good wishes to you!The icy snow has melted,See the plum tree blossom!The long night is past,I heard the cock crow.Good wishes, good wishes to you, yeah! Good wishes, good wishes to you!After so many difficulties,Such bad tempersSo many children in their hearts,Look forward to the news of Spring!Good wishes, good wishes to you, yeah! Good wishes, good wishes to you!
