I wish you prosperity
I wish you a brilliant life
Best things please come
Bad things please go away
Oh, many gifts people don't mind
I wish all girls around the world
Each marry a good boy
And the young couple always stick together
I wish all children around the world
Smartness exceeding scholars
Intelligence filling your brains
I wish all respectable grannies
Thirty-six laps around the track
No puffing and no change of face
I wish my third uncle's business
Fame around the world
Weath flowing in and living in a mansion.
Swaggering
A happy sky replacing your disasters
Wishing you prosperity
Shout it loud and bold
Wishing you prosperity
I wish you prosperity...
Ye yi ye yi
hihihi haho……
I wish everybody a permanent smile
Wholeheartedly letting love flow
Tomorrow will be more awesome
I wish the world's frustrations
Run away faster than Bolt
Every year producing talented people
Swaggering...
I wish you prosperity...
[x2]
Wishes of prosperity!
