Happy New Year
Shanren Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

阳光刺痛我的眼鞭炮响
今天我要迎接一个好时光
我的爹妈已经被我气走了
所以我才发现没有办法了
他们都在试新衣数红包
而我却为一只袜子到处找
我的朋友全都被我吓跑了
所以我发现没有去处了

阳光刺痛我的眼鞭炮响
今天我要迎接一个好时光
我的爹妈已经被我气走了
所以我才发现没有办法了
他们都在试新衣数红包
而我却为一只袜子到处找
我的朋友全都被我吓跑了
所以我发现没有去处了

大年初一的街张灯结彩的夜

为何一切都那么遥远那样遥远

走进孩童的乐园感受天真的笑脸
为何一切便那么亲切那样忧伤

鲜花的酒两朵的梅
二红四喜两朵梅情是花的酒啊
情是花的酒
大哥来敬酒啊小弟接过杯
喝完这杯不服气啊再来两小杯啊
请呀么敬呀情是花的酒啊
请呀么敬呀情是花的酒啊

小弟来敬酒啊大哥接过杯
喝完这杯不服气啊再来两小杯啊

请呀么敬呀情是花的酒啊
请呀么敬呀情是花的酒啊
