Greeting The New Year 舊正拜年

鄧麗君唱舊曆正月初一「拜年」

(Bai-Ni/Bai-Nian )

Teresa Teng Sings "Greeting The New Year"

正月初一頭一天
First day of the first month,
家家戶戶過新年
Every household celebrates the New Year.
大街小巷喧燈彩
Main streets and alleys are full of decorative lightings.
炮竹響連天。
Firecrackers roar throughout the day.
嘁得隆冬鏹咚鏹
Qi di long dong qiang dong qiang
嗨! 炮竹響連天。
Hai, firecrackers roar throughout the day.

小妹過年真高興
I celebrate the New Year with the utmost joy.
換上新鞋穿新衣
Change to new shoes and clothing
從頭到腳打扮好
From head to feet all dressed up
上街去拜年。
Take to the street to greet the New Year!
嘁得隆冬鏹咚鏹
Qi di long dong qiang dong qiang
嗨! 上街去拜年。
Hai, take to the street to greet the New Year!

小妹過年真高興，
I celebrate the New Year with the utmost joy.
有吃有唱又有玩，
Eating, singing and playing.
叫部的士吩咐他，
Summon a Taxi and tell the driver
我要去拜年。
I have to greet the New Year!
嘁得隆冬鏹咚鏹，
Qi di long dong qiang dong qiang
嗨! 我要去拜年。
Hai, I have to greet the New Year!
