Firecrackers sent a year away,
Warm spring breeze’s sneaking into Tu Su.
Thousands of households were all sleepless,
The new is always replacing the past.
爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏。
千门万户曈曈日,总把新桃换旧符。

But in the crowd once and again,
I look for her in vain,
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首, 那人却在,灯火阑珊处。

举头望明月
低头思故乡
I raise my head:
a lonely moon is what I see;
I stoop:
and homesickness is crying loud in me!
I raise my cup to invite the moon
who blends her light with my shadow,
and we are three friends.
